But remember all of the people that may still have 500s if Sony does not update their firmware for epub.

Assuming you already had valid XHTML 1.1 content, filling in some form with certain meta information about the ebook (along with the reading order) would allow automatic creation of these other files and then the packaging into a Zip archive. Of course, the use of either an ISBN, a UUID or some other identifier would also have to be handled and perhaps generated.

BTW, you can break up the ebook into multiple chapters/sections and in fact, this is recommended. You could use one large XHTML file for the entire book, but this may not render (or page) as fast. If one file is used, you could still provide the navigation points (navpoints) needed by using bookmarks inside the document, instead of linking to separate files.
Yep agree with all of that. I should have said 'xhtml file or files'.

As far as the validator is concerned I'm sure that was something Nick Whatsisname [sorry Nick - memory not what it used to be] mentioned in a post on here. could be wrong though,

question on ePub text formatting
Im using InDesign to create ePub format books, and I've encountered a problem with the tabbing for the paragraphs. When creating a regular HTML ebook, you put in ^t^p. For ePub, the ^t^p doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to indent paragraphs for ePub? Please let me know.


thanks

... but a little off-topic.

Viral marketing? Maybe.
