[Booki-dev] questions

[Mike McCabe]

Douglas -

Thank you for the detailed analysis.

jpg images - This comes from trying things out to make the Sony reader 
happy.  Turns out things were better when I fixed several bad internal 
hrefs.  (It working around them, unhappily)  Lesson: integrate 
epubcheck.  I have image wrapper pages working, and will revert to them.

eng vs. en - Raj, I'm copying the metadata straight across; but there's 
an easy place to modify things - has this come up before?

TOC.  Working on it!  This might be hard to get right, generically 
speaking.  If I can't come up with anything sensible for some books, 
I'll fall back to making a 'TOC' of page ranges.

Best regards,
Mike
