Looks great — thanks Seth. Could you guys set the correct Content-Type on the EPUB? Should be application/epub+zip

Thanks for pointing this out, we're on it (other formats have a similar problem).

Actually the epub is so badly formatted, that Google Play Books does not even process it and fails. When i run it through epubchecker/Calibre, it shows 215 errors. Probably something you want to look at.
Thank you for letting us know Lucian! I shared your comment with our publisher (O'Reilly).

Here is the patch for the faulty epub.css: https://gist.github.com/luckylittle/9a6d99def44a48796fbcb147...
