When it comes to the premium catalog, errors are very often found later than the regular intake errors.

<snip part about credit card, don't understand what that pertains to. Tox is Dutch, maybe he can contribute here to gain clarity.>

If you want to look at I can place it again https://www.dropbox.com/s/aa068pd73w...a-maestro.epub

Not suite "Fixed layout" ePub.

Well:

1. You have a background-color and a background-image URL set in your page_styles css;
2. You have an image (the signature) over this same background-image in the Foreword; thus, you are not only floating text atop an image, but floating an image atop an image,
3. And you've repeated this error, using the background-image:url('../Images/kleur.jpg'); for the body class in the sgc-toc.css, as well.

I don't know how you get to:

But there ain't no overlays and/or highlighting in the epub file.

Because they are certainly there. That's what they mean by "overlays;" you're using a colored image block to emulate a background color (which, by the way, no offense, is just a dreadful idea; what about people who want to use Sepia mode, or night mode?). That's one of the reasons that they are rejecting your file. You also, as far as I know, can't use background colors in Smashwords, either--simple files are best, as far as they go.

I am unsure that Smashwords accepts SVG images for covers, FWIW. I don't really deal with Smashwords directly, but as a safety precaution, we make the ePUBs designated for SW with JPEG covers. Also, premium-catalog-wise, don't you need a minimum 1400px in width for the iBooks store, for the cover? I believe so.

I hope this assists you.

Thanks. Now I understand it better; the problem is the background color and the background image.

Yes, as far as I can make out, given the error messages you've repeated from Smashwords and looking at your file.

Glad to have been of service.
