Subscribers wishing to use the EPUB edition of the book on Google Play Books
can log back into the Warescription site
and download a fresh EPUB. A diligent subscriber made some recommendations that,
in the end, gave me an EPUB that works with Play Books.
However, the Play Books Web interface has its own set of issues. If you try
uploading through it, when the ���Processing������ banner goes away, wait several
minutes more. Then, refresh the page, and try opening the book. If you get an
error, wait a while longer and try opening the book again.
It is entirely possible that this revised EPUB now will break other readers.
If you encounter new problems with the EPUB on certain readers, please
let me know.
For those of you interested in the details��� I switched from .html files
to .xhtml files in the EPUB contents, to better comply with the EPUB
specifications and make epubcheck happy. That, in turn, caused Play Books
to choke on a <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
tag that I had in the XHTML files. Removing the <meta> tag, and discovering
that I had to wait well past the end of the ���Processing������ period to see if it worked,
cleared up the problem.
