There is a real need for a ePub compliance checker. I'm not sure Dostoyevsky-The_Gambler is a valid .epub. It fails using Lector for example. FBReader can read it, but it currently lacks TOC support which is a bit limiting.
Well, we don't have any validation tool yet, so we created our files based on the examples provided by IDPF and the docs mostly.
They work in DE, although DE is kinda slow if your .xml file is too big. Haven't tried yet with FBReader but FBReader currently lacks both TOC and CSS support which is quite limiting.
We're correcting a few things and we'll add this output on the website for beta testing (I guess today or tomorrow).

Keep in mind that this is pure beta testing for the moment, if you find any problem with the files, we'll correct them.

PS: Just tried OpenBerg and found a small bug in our file. Corrected the whole thing manually and now it opens perfectly in OpenBerg.
