[FM Discuss] preview fixed

[James Simmons]

Adam,

I just imported ThirteenWomen into booki.cc and created this epub file with it:

http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/thirteenwomen-en-2011.01.06-00.00.20.epub

The EPUB reader of Firefox considers it to be invalid.  I have
successfully generated EPUBs of books that were NOT imported from IA
and read them with the Firefox add-on.

For instance, this one:

http://objavi.flossmanuals.net/books/readingandsugar-en-2011.01.06-00.04.03.epub

Hope this helps.

James Simmons
