Help with validation error(s): "reacheable" not in <manifest> + others

[bubism]

First of all, a big Thank You to all the people who took some time to reply. I am a bit wiser now.

The book seems to be fixed now. I had a few more problems with the TOC and the relative linkage (easily fixed), but it now validates perfectly and works like a beauty on my Sony ereader. Mobi conversion turned out great too.

My only remaining fear is that the 314K single-part file might be too large for some older/weirder readers... but I really wouldn't know what else to do.

The good news is that this was the Italian edition of the dictionary, so when the English-language translation will come out I will adopt a wiser (NOT Word > Dreamweaver > Calibre > Sigil) approach.

Glad you got the major problem of broken links fixed. 314K for a single file is IMHO borderline. But now if you have an epub that passes epubcheck and Sigil's flight check, then (a) save it and (b) try splitting it in Sigil. (of course, save as something different!). Sigil will probably handle the links properly during splitting.

And going forward, if you're starting with an MS-Word file, I recommend LibreOffice (free as in beer) with the writer2xhtml extension which will export a quite reasonable epub that can be tweaked in Sigil and then you're good to go (except for mobi -- that's a few more steps).

Take it for what it's worth...
and HTH.

If you start with Word, I recommend my own add-in. It will deliver an ePUB with all links working. If the cross references/bookmarks are already done in Word, it should be a breeze.
