Re: Testing ePub files

There is a lot to know about EPUBs, a lot of checking has to be done
manually. However, there are two programs. ACE by Daisy and then check the
EPUB code with Pagina. Calibre doesn't produce great stuff a lot of the
time, use the Daisy tool and it comes out way better. With EPUBs its a
website, but it then you have the EPUB code.

Cheers
