The "truncated" error I still don't understand.
You're right, there were quite a few problems left in handling ePub. After all, it was a first attempt. I made several improvements. E.g. Japi will now collect all problems during opening and will report them while still trying to work around these.

And another change has to do with the big news in ePub land this week.

You can download japi here, source code can be found there as well. Japi is hosted on Berlios BTW.

Finally, I understand if you're underwhelmed by Japi and its features. Yes, it is not much more than a text editor and using emacs you sure can get a long way too. But it works for me and I thought some might be interested in this.
