Here's a write up done on Teleread that might have some useful info...

Also the Mobil Read Wiki has some good info...

I know it's not really the step-by-step guide you asked for, but I don't think I've seen one.

And little by little I've added some tweaks to my ePUB files. You can unzip one of them ("The Prince and the Pauper" is a good one, since it has embedded fonts too) and see how it's done. They are all hand-written, so everything there is is there because I added it (not because it's the default of some program).

The only thing missing is creating the final zip file. I pack the mimetype file without compression (zip mybook.epub -0 mimetype) and then add the rest of the files (zip mybook.epub -rDX9 META-INF OEPBS).
Probably best to unpin this unhelpful thread. All the above links are broken and there really isn't a lot of info here to support the thread title and pinning.
