In all honesty, I wouldn't even bother removing the uuid, or changing the unique-id from the uuid to the new isbn entry It's really not worth the trouble, and there's absolutely no advantage to be gained. Just leave the uuid, the unique-id, and the ncx dbt:uid alone; then add a new ISBN meta item and be done with it.
I can't remember the last commercial epub I looked at that used the isbn as the unique identifier. *shrug* |
Well it would seem you have a point (no surprise there!).
Because I made a copy of the epub after I added the ISBN, but before making any code changes. And that copy converts in Kindle Converter, no problem.
But regardless of what I do, the one whose code I changed (and re-checked many times now) will not convert, even though it gets zero errors in EpubCheck.
I feel bad I made Tex take all that time to explain how to do all that to me, but FWIW (Tex), I did learn in the process... about code too, which I appreciate!
But it looks like I will do as you suggest, as that seems to be the only way the Kindle Converter program is happy with it. So I'll leave well enough alone.
BTW, I read the ISBN should be entered in the metadata field without hyphens. Is that the consensus?
Again, a million thanks!
