Use the built in ZIP facility. Double click on a Zip and it compresses. Select files and right click choose "compress" to create a Zip.

Can you post a file list of all the files/directories so we can see what the problem might be?

I had an ePub once that had a couple of invalid entries in it that had to be removed. The way to remove them was to unzip and then zip back all the valid entries and then I was able to strip the DRM.

You can't just zip the files to get a correct epub file. It has to be done in a special way. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=581649

I wonder who needed to protect their author/publisher rights and put the DRM on almost 500 year old translation of the Bible? (rhetorical question)

But what about all those extra bits that don't belong? Is it still the Bible with these extra bits?

I followed these instruction and even tried moving the file to the desktop but I am still getting the error:

Error in: Holy_Bible_NIV.epub[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/myname/Desktop\\Holy_Bible_NIV.epub'

I withdraw my comment then.... Looks like NIV has a copyright on it. I guess it's possible to assume copyright on a translation of a text that is public domain.

It certainly is. Separate copyright applies to the translation. The source text may be in the public domain, but the translation is not. This is an issue for a large number of works in the public domain not originally written in English.

The NIV is the work of over 100 translators, and the result of an effort to provide an updated translation in contemporary English that was begun in 1966.

See http://www.biblegateway.com/versions...ion-NIV-Bible/ for some background on it.

I was able to get both books converted on my Mac by:

1. zipping the epub (right click, select compress)
2. unzipping it with built-in mac utility
3. rezipping it with pdurrant's AppleScript

Thanks to JSWold, trowley's PM and karma all around.
