epub mimetype and Content Server
Hi guys
Since the latest iBooks update I can't open epubs in iBooks - iPad - when downloading them from the Content Server. Had never had this problem before. I've been googling around and some folks suggest that iBooks requires the mimetype set to application/epub+zip. I don't really know if this is the reason iBooks will not open epubs any more. I installed Stanza and it opens the epubs without problem. What mimetype uses the Content Server when serving epubs? I've been looking for a server conf file but can't find it. Many thanks Paul |

calibre-debug -c "from calibre import guess_type; print guess_type('a.epub')[0]"
Will tell you what mimetype calibre uses for epub. |

Can open the ePubs in Dropbox and Stanza, which are the other 2 apps available. Don't know if it's because I have many books in iBooks. Have removed many but still... |
