That's a great EPUB tutorial; the trickiest part of it all is this: first, put the MIMETYPE file in to the folder (that must be the first file into the EPUB package) Then, add the other folders: compress these, but do not compress the MIMETYPE file Then do what you did before: change the file extension from ZIP to EPUB. Your epub should work. Test it out on the EPUB reader online via O'Reilly.com If your EPUB does not work, then try the free Epub Validator -- that will point out the mistakes in the EPUB files: try uploading your EPUB there. Finally, there are some support forums that can help, if things still don't work. Best wishes, Michael Pastore, author 50 Benefits of Ebooks Hi Diane,

You’re almost there. That’s a great EPUB tutorial; the trickiest part of it all is this:

first, put the MIMETYPE file in to the folder (that must be the first file into the EPUB package)

Then, add the other folders: compress these, but do not compress the MIMETYPE file

Then do what you did before: change the file extension from ZIP to EPUB.

Your epub should work. Test it out on the EPUB reader online via O’Reilly.com

If your EPUB does not work, then try the free Epub Validator — that will point out the mistakes in the EPUB files: try uploading your EPUB there.

Finally, there are some support forums that can help, if things still don’t work.
