Why can't I open epub file?

[onegative23]

Hello Everyone,

I have a problem and unsure why it's happening.  Have found if I try and open a newly downloaded epub file I cannot open it with ADE 2.0 unless I modify the mimetype file from application/epub+zip to application/epub.

What gives?  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Danny

Which OS are you using?  Where is the mimetype being defined?

.epub files are zip encoded.  ???Maybe whatever is interpreting the application/epub+zip sees the zip part of the memitype and unzips it, then tries to process the result (which would be a complete directory) as an epub???
