3. After the upload, the ePub will then download to the app and you can start testing/reading it.
And as for suggestions/advice, it's very practical and hassle free, I'll surely discuss this with the author.

I did want to second what Quoth says about GoogleBooks--their market share is quite literally
infinitesimal. Now...your client may have a good reason to want to be there, but I tend to find, for what it's worth, that generally speaking, authors seem to have very little connection to reality, about where books sell, where they're found, and all that. I've had some convinced that putting their books on GBooks would somehow magically enhance their organic SEO for their book titles and the like.
So...perhaps, before you drive yourself crazier, you could ask the author and make sure that there's good reason for all this angst?
Typically, by the time I get to where you are, with the yanking-out-hair stage, I've simply told the customer that it can't be done. We warn them about this upfront, and I invoke the ripcord clause ("can't be done") as needed.
