EPUB converter other than Calibre?

Hello,

I want to get my work published on iBook but I'm having difficulties in delivering my package on iTunes Producer since it's not accepting the epub file I used from Calibre. The original file is PDF and I've converted it to EPUB on Calibre. I've read that the EPUB format from Calibre is not compatible with iBooks as you can see I'm getting 3 errors:

1. Apple's web service opration was not successful

2. Unable to authenticate the package: Clouds_2004.itmsp

3. ERROR ITMS-9000: "Clouds_2004.epub: resource OPS/Fonts/EmbedFont.ttf is missing" at Book (MZltmspBookPackage)

Can anyone suggest an alternative converter or how to work around it?

Thanks!

- Sonia

Automator has epub converter capability and comes with OS X.

Thanks! I was able to create an epub from it. However, I'm getting the same error and a new one:

Metadata Not Found

There was a problem opening the package /User/onichanie/Desktop/Manga/Ibook/Final/EPUB/clouds.epub:

Unable to find metadata.xml at location: Userser/onichanie/Desktop/Manga/Ibook/Final/EPUB/clouds.epub

Good - that's the current version.
