Bug Description
To quote "EPUB 3 Best Practices"
The specification for this is the Open Container Format (OCF) 3.0, and it is literally a .zip file,
though it uses the .epub extension.
Apparently the coder decided checking the extension was easier than actually looking in the file and recognizing that it is a zip file.
Workaround - Use command line unzip
