It's possible I misread the spec, but I understood it to be saying that *nothing* in the EPUB package could be compressed.

You're saying it's only the mimetype file?

Hmm.

Cheers,

Eliot,

Great news. It's impressive that you can process such a large document.

When you have a copy posted, I'd like to try it out.

I am a bit confused about your comment about ZIP compression. An epub file is itself a zip file, and the only uncompressed part is the mimetype file, so I'm not sure what you mean about epub not allowing zip compression.

Best Regards, Dick Hamilton

I have successfully produced an EPUB from the current source of the 1.2 spec and loaded it on my iPad and iPhone (and of course can view it in Adobe Digital Editions. The complete spec comes in at about 64Meg (EPUB doesn't allow Zip compression, go figure).

This is using the new EPUB Toolkit plugin that I have almost 100% working.

I will be packing the plugin properly here over the next few days.

I can post the EPUB somewhere if that's appropriate, but I realize that it has no official provenance at the moment.

But I was pleased that I was able to process a pretty large doc.

The resulting EPUB passes all epubcheck validation checks except for missing resources because there are a number of unresolved links (which is probably a result of bugs in my processor related to key-based links).

It would be nice if we had a cover graphic for this beasty--is that something we can do? Does OASIS specify some sort of official cover layout?

Cheers,

Eliot
