The ePub format requires that the first file in the zpi archive should be the mimetype file and that is should be uncompressed.

See this thread for details of the commands needed to create such a zip file, and if you're on Mac, for a useful AppleScript aplication that does the hard work for you.

I'd also recommend that you take a look at Sigil, which will create ePub files and has a WYSIWYG and code-based editor.

I am now referring to Jedisaber as I learn very basic stuff in epub format, but I am confused that i fail to make a recognizable epub file.

I check my file with threepress, it report to me that my minitype file is "not the first" in the epub file, what should i do to give it a "first place" in the zip file layout?
