Q: 137 ITMS ERRORS IN MY EPUB!!!
Ok guys, I know that this question had been poped up probably a thousand times but I really need your help !
Apple just relased a new version of iTunes Producer (3.0) and I had great expecations about an easier sending process for e-books but it is actually worth.
I am FRENCH and I just created a free lanced e-book support. I have been helping more than 250 indies and small editing companies (mostly in Europe), my business is growing up every month but, this time time, I am serioulsy thinking of asking my customers to avoid Apple and give it up with the iBook Store.
I know that we are far from the US but in Europe, an area of almost 500 millions of inhabitants and potential customers, there are a lot of people who don't speak English at all and I let you imagine how many frustrations Apple is creating with its products which are more and more complicated to use... (sorry, I am getting angry)
All of this to tell you that there are more than 100 ITMS errors in an Epub of one of my customers and I really don't know how to deal with that.
The Epub is legitimate, I made it with Sigil, there are no photos inside it except for the cover (in the right dimensions (1400 x 2087 e.i)).
Can anybody tell me in English how to solve this ?
Many thanks for your help.
Rémy.
