ok Kovid. I downloaded Calibre and tested a few ePub files I had, here's my notes:
1) It's a great application if you want to generate Mobi, Sony, and ePub files. 2) I wanted to fix errors the checkers (1.0.3) threw "attribute not allowed". I was hoping Calibre can fix this really quick. So here's what i did, I uploaded the ePub file in Calibre, and once again, converted the same ePub file to ePub! I was hoping this will do the rick, but appearantly, it didn't. Any suggestions? 3) So what is that Calibre is doing that the checkers are not doing to the ePub file? Can you package an ePub file if I "unzipped it", then fixed XHTML or whatever needed fixing? 4) I think options like "Validate ePub" or "check ePub" with an editor to clean up the files you need to clean then re package might be a great new feature to the tool. 5) You mentioned there is no one tool, can you please point me to "the collection of reliabe tools", beside your fine Calibre tool  that I would need to generate and check my ePub files.Jellyby, thanks for your link. This clarified a lot of the errors I seen in all versions of checkers. but I am confused and worried now, if I am hearing 2 different answers on the checkers. |

calibre does not correct the typical errors the checkers complain about, only errors that are likely to prevent your EPUB from actually working. And yes, you can unzip an EPUB correct errors and tell calibre to convert the OPF file to EPUB. See for http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/wiki/ADEQuirks for a subset of "errors" calibre will correct.
And almost all attribute not allowed errors can be safely ignored, with a few exceptions. |

ok.. after working on a few epub files, I ran across this error “Not Importable. BookKey” when iporting an epub file to the readers (Mobipocket/Amazon Kindle). Any idea what this error means? and why it's showing up?

reading other posts https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17239 DRM'd mobipocket files will not import in the kindle. So if I want to import a DRM'd ePub file in Kindle, how can I do that?
