I did hear from Mark Coker from Smashwords. It appears meatgrinder did not pick up some table tabs in my doc document. I fixed that problem. In addition when I quoted a person I used the Quotations style in LibreOffice. When this got converted to epub the Quotations style got converted to <blockquote> tags and meatgrinder didn't like them. My solution was to just change my quotes that used Quotation style to Content 5 style, and just tell that style to italicize. Once I did this, in addition to fixing the table problem, my book made it through meatgrinder and epub checker, and has been shipped to Apple. Yippee! Mr. Coker mentioned they are changing the way a user is notified of epub errors. They do understand the current system is too mysterious in terms of a user knowing if they have epub errors by having to check whether their book shipped/not shipped. Just by fixing the blockquote problem got rid of most of the errors alone. Threepress cranks out so many errors for every occurrence of a problem.
