Hi,
Sorry creating your EPUB hasn’t been as easy as it should be. You might find my new book helpful: EPUB Straight to the Point: Creating ebooks for the Apple iPad and other ereaders (http://www.elizabethcastro.com/epub). I also have been publishing a number of EPUB related posts at my regular blog: http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com.

Hope you find them useful.

kind regards,
Liz
