Downloading epub from webpage
I have my epubs available on my website for download from a public dropbox folder for anyone who visits my site (as well as through Apple iBooks). This will end on 3/15. If I just make the files a shared file, the browser doesn't know how to handle them properly to download them like a .zip file or to offer to open in iBooks from the tablet. I tried to alter my web.config file based on an old previous thread I found.
mimeMap fileExtension=".epub" mimeType="application/epub+zip But it didn't change anything. Anyone have a suggestion? |

Mobile device browsers can't handle ZIP archives, period. If you want them to be downloadable directly from mobile devices, the only way to do so is with an individual link per book. The MIME type "application/epub+zip" is the MIME type for a single EPUB book.
