Export<\/h3>\nEPUB files must be \"valid\" if you want them to get into ebook stores. This means there are no coding mistakes in the output. While Pressbooks is built to produce valid EPUBs, you might have put in some code (for instance copied from a Word file) that breaks your EPUB.\n\nPressbooks automatically validates all EPUBs it produces, and will give you a warning if there is a problem with the export.\n\nYou can get the details of problems with your EPUB by selecting \"Yes. Send the logs\" in this section. This will send technical details of problems to the email address associated with your Pressbooks account.\n\nOther ways to check problems with your file include:\n
