Thanks for the advice DaleDe. What I did was make the mimetype into a zip using WinRar with the best compression option. Then I added Meta-Inf and OEBPS into the zipped folder. Then I change the extension to epub. Then I transferred it to the iPad. But it's still not showing.

Edit: I also tried the method of creating an empty folder, zipping it, adding the mimetype, then adding the Meta-inf and oebps and still it don't show.

Ive tried emailing and dropboxing but still nada.
