So... EPUB and Ugh.

So for the first time I decided to make my own epub instead of relying on Smashwords.

I brought the word doc in to Calbri, generated an EPub, then used Sigil to clean the files. I know HTML and CSS so it was easy. I also fixed up formating issues with the conversion and cleaned out all of the MS-Word pieces that made it through TidyHTML.

I then made sure it passed EPUBFLIGHTCHECK and EpubCheck with flying colors. The only thing that came back (and only from EpubCheck, the other loved the files) was a warning about spaces in the filenames (Calbri generated the file names). I did not like the aspect of changing every single one, one at a time and then updating the links one by one. Its an omnibus, with a couple 100 files so would be a big job. I need find out if Sigil has a tool to do that or not. But regardless the files still passed completely.

I also copied it to my Nook Color, and my friends EInk Nook. It worked great. It is currently up on Smashwords via their new direct EPub upload. Yay!

So I try to upload it to B&N and I get "unknown error" and that is it. No other information.

UGH.

Any ideas? I trying to release today, but support is not open till Monday.
