My ePub creation has been a strictly manual process so far. I'm working in WinXP, have WinZip 8, and use Dreamweaver for any HTML editing.

I used the Jedisaber ePub files as a beginning template. I start by manually copying and pasting existing (and working) ePub files into a new folder, and editing as needed (titles, dates, chapter names, etc). Then I manually add each chapter as an HTML file, and images as JPG files. I use the same filetype descriptions that were in the original (working) ePub files.

The Book Glutton files use a slightly different formatting than the Jedisaber template, but both of their files open in DE, and after converting to .zip and back to .epub, will no longer open.

I haven't upgraded WinZip yet, but it is the only other obvious thing I can try. Still, I don't see how simply changing the extension could cause this problem.
