Unfortunately, on macOS, when double-clicking on an epub renamed to .zip to automatically open it will just try to compress it again as it appears the mimetype file of the epub is confusing it.

It looks at the first entry (the mimetype) and sees it is uncompressed and so thinks the entire file is uncompressed and so "smartly" tries to compress instead of uncompress. Stupid really as you can add uncompressed files to any zip and they might come first.


Either the command line tool unzip or pdurrants applet will work.
