Don't forget to handle situations where a comma is correct but not part of a flipped name such as John Smith, Jr. or John Smith, Sr.

This is the matching change for non-dc: metadata made in Modify ePub today to exclude the mandatory epub3 meta tag.

Thanks.

This has the adjustment to Swap author names for when there are multiple that it will "swap" the first author and then check other authors also need swapping before doing so.

So "John Bloggs & Smith, Joe" will end up as "Bloggs, John & Smith, Joe" rather than previously of "Bloggs, John & Joe Smith"

I've gone forwards and backwards through this thread, but haven't gone through all 84 pages (though nothing is showing up using search this thread) - I am curious which aspects of Quality Check are the important ones to check for people using modern Kobo ereaders?

I've read through the Quality Check help documentation and see that in a lot of places it says things like, "Use this check to find ePubs that may require their TOC being flattened if your device requires it."

Is there a resource anywhere that says, "these are the checks that are most important/going to cause actual problems in your epub before sending to your Kobo?"

Most are not device specific. Mobi checks mostly apply to Kindles.

Most are about having some aspect of our Library Consistent.
The tool is not about verifying you have a valid EPUB (although some checks will flag missing required metadata)

I like Author Initials a certain way.
I want Fn (Mi) Ln
I want cover sizes above x and less than y
The tool helps find those that do not pass my required criteria.

Mostly it is a toolkit to identify items that need some TLC
in a few cases the FIX section help adjust the found items.
