Cannot load epub as proof in Apple Books
Hi. I'm old and wrinkly in terms of writing books, but new to epub.
I have a completed epub that passes validation (as does the CSS). It displays okay in Kindle Previewer. I want to check it in Apple Books on my Mac. So I followed Apple's instructions (unzipped epub and added the .epub extension to the folder). In Apple Books I select: Advanced > Add EPUB to library as proof and select the folder I just created (nnn.epub). But nothing happens. The proof is not loaded, and Apple Books just sits there. No error messages - nothing. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance. |

Stet that. It seems to be working now, although the fonts have been lost. I'll post a new thread in the appropriate forum.

Why uncompress the epub, then rename the folder? Can’t you proof the epub by importing it as a .epub file? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I can, yes. But I am scratching my head about how to get custom fonts working in Apple Books, so trying everything. They work fine on Kindle, so should in Books. But they are not!
