Not quite right. The mimetype file must be the first file in the archive, must be stored uncompressed and must contain only "application/epub+zip" (without the quotes).

The container.xml file must be stored in a META_INF directory.

See EPUB Open Container Format (OCF) 3.2 for more information (and possibly a decent insomnia cure )
