but why would you not build your epub to go to everyone. A major retailer is a major retailer for a reason and the ones that allow your content also allow content that is invalid and corrupt which pushes away from customers buying from them. I understand what you're trying to say but by doing it that way you are hurting yourself, sales, and profit.
