How if I just offer the epub file as a download then the file will not open correct for others. I assume they need the opf file also. How do I convert or set up the book so it can be offered as a download on my web site.
Thank you very much for any help

The 'BookName.epub' is a zip file so if you rename the .epub part to .zip you can look at the 'innards'
The metadata.opf file is actually one of the files that is zipped into a single epub file so it's already there.
I understand that there can be differences between the OPF in the caliber folder and the OPF in the epub. I
think it has to do with editing the metadata with Calibre and as opposed to actually editing the book (at least that's my experience, but I'm sure the more experienced members will jump in with a better explanation)
There is a very nice plugin called 'Modify epub' that will actually incorporate the Calibre cover and metadata into the epub file, as well as make other changes an cleanups.
