Problem solved!
Except that there is no real need to bother with converting to EPUB at that time, or ever -- unless you suddenly need the EPUB in order to read it in an EPUB reader, or you happen to be editing the code now.

Just for storing it, there is no need to convert to EPUB for the sake of the archive.
