Thanks. I'll check it out.

>I unzip and rezip with Terminal (on Mac). Heard that Zip on Windows works fine too.

I'm too lazy to use Terminal. I gave up the command line back the in the days of the Amiga. :-)

I found Springy a couple of months ago. Unlike most other Mac archive utilities, it will open an archive without extracting the contents and you can also extract individual files. I've had some success editing files directly within the ePub archive, but I've also had a few archives go corrupt after doing that.
