Thank you omk3 for the welcome!

Thank you Charleski for that information but as I'm new to all of this I think I might need some further help. How do I view the XML specification of the EPUB file? As the book was bought commercially from Waterstones I would assume that it is encrypted and protected by DRM. Do I need a special piece of software to view and modify the specification? Do I need another piece of software to first strip out the DRM? Is that possible? Would it be possible please to detail the steps required to correct the encoding and what software would be required? Thank you.
