MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Creating valid epub from command line using zip

Jellby · 07-17-2014, 09:16 AM

I use a script like this all the time:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

rm -f "$1"
zip -X0 "$1" mimetype
zip -X9Dr "$1" META-INF OEBPS

which is basically the same you do.

Now, the question is, what is the content of your "mimetype" file? It should be:

Code:

application/epub+zip

and only that, no newline at the end or anything else.
