@pesco @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso @davidgerard I cannot begin to say how much I hate epub - as a format, certainly for technical books, the inconsistencies in standard implementations, and certainly the tooling around it.
I'll fix it tomorrow. Not sure what happened - this did happen on an early version of the epub build (using latex4ht and associated tools, if you want details), and i fixed it and did multiple checks before uploading. Somewhere an old version must have snuck into an upload. My apologies.

@cdegroot @pesco @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso epub is the *worst*. i have tended to just bodge my epubs until they pass epubcheck. even then i get bug reports about ebook readers that do weird things with the file. epub: a format that means books need patch releases.

@cdegroot thanks, please don't sweat it. i guess though that epub is the only practical alternative as far as reflowable ebook formats go? purely OOI, do you have a preference for some other format, albeit not practical? /cc @OpinionatedGeek @amoroso @davidgerard
