I have a completed epub that passes validation (as does the CSS). It displays okay in Kindle Previewer.



I want to check it in Apple Books on my Mac.



So I followed Apple's instructions (unzipped epub and added the .epub extension to the folder).



In Apple Books I select:



Advanced > Add EPUB to library as proof



and select the folder I just created (nnn.epub).



But nothing happens. The proof is not loaded, and Apple Books just sits there. No error messages - nothing.



Am I missing something?



Thanks in advance.


Why uncompress the epub, then rename the folder? Can’t you proof the epub by importing it as a .epub file?
