I guess it does matter, whether it's validated or not...

It will only take a minute or so doing it with e.g. a perl script...

So what was wrong with them? (in case there's a book I want to read before you get to it )

All 1890 ebooks in our collection have now been completely refreshed, and should work on the Sony devices.
It seems that while other readers are a little fault-tolerant when it comes to the epub spec., the Sonys were not. The main problem seemed to be the inclusion of qualified dublin core metadata elements in the content.opf file. Most readers (and sensible programmers) would simply ignore something as inconsequential as dc:date.modified, but not the Sony.

I also note that epubchk flags as an error the existence of .png image files, which it calls "non standard". Well, if a reader baulks at that, too bad. No way am I going back and replacing png with gif or jpg.

Congratulations on getting all your books fixed.

But I don't understand your problem above. I've almost always used png image files in the ePub ebooks I do, and I've never had a problem - I put 40 png image files in The Woman in White.

I notice that you say 'epubchk flags as an error ...' Is this the same program as ePubcheck from Threepress Publishing? Or a different program? If it is a different program please ignore this post.

Regards, Alex

The "correct" way to include this in ePUB would be a <dc:date> element with an "event" attribute...

PNG is explicitly allowed in ePUB, and I have never seen epubcheck complain on this. Maybe you are using/defining them in some particular way? What is non-standard is having PNG files (or GIF, or JPG...) referred to directly in the <spine>, for instance; you have to use some XHTML wrapper to hold the image.
