Smile My homemade epubs are not viewable on iBooks for iPad.

Hi, I'm having a problem with epubs not being viewable in iBooks.

I've been making some epubs with InDesign, unzipped them, edited them in Notepad++, rezipped them, renamed the extension from .zip to epub and have transferred them with iTunes to my iPad 2. This had been working fine.

Two days ago they were all displaying fine in iBooks, now only 2 or 3 are displaying. On iTunes it list the epubs as being stored on the iPad. The epubs work and can be viewed on Sigil and Adobe digital Reader.

I made a copy of the files that are viewable on the iPad and renamed them, and transferred them but these copies are not viewable either.

I also transferred all the books with my iPhone 4, again the same problem but this time a different selection of my epubs are showing!

I also transferred a commercial epub to the iPad 2 and this works.

This is a crazy problem and it is stopping me from testing but I have no idea what to do. Any ideas?
