Bug Description
Here is how Calibre lists an *.ibooks file in its OPDS feed:
<entry>
<title>External Video Demo</title>
<author>
<name>Frank Lowney</name>
</author>
<id>
<updated>
<link href="/
<link href="/
</entry>
Note the absence of a download link as compared with an epub in the same feed:
<entry>
<title>Lonely Planet's Best In Travel 2011</title>
<author>
<name>Lonely Planet</name>
</author>
<id>
<updated>
<link href="/
<link href="/
<link href="/
</entry>
This is the missing line:
<link href="/
... or perhaps the following would be better:
<link href="/
Adding titles to these OPDS feeds would also be helpful according to the developers with whom I am working. Specifically, they say, "... suggest improvements to titles of feeds. At the feed level, all feeds are currently named « calibre Library ». More expressive names would be very useful : ex : « By Authors », « By Newest », « Author name »…"
Thanks for looking at this.

Links for the ibook format are present in feeds generated by the current
calibre release. For example:
<link href="/ get/azw3/ 1376" type="applicati on/x-mobi8- ebook" rel="http:// opds-spec. org/acquisition"/> get/epub/ 1376" type="applicati on/epub+ zip" rel="http:// opds-spec. org/acquisition"/> get/ibook/ 1376" type="applicati on/x-ibooks+ zip" rel="http:// opds-spec. org/acquisition"/> get/cover/ 1376" type="image/jpeg" rel="http:// opds-spec. org/cover"/> get/thumb/ 1376" type="image/jpeg" rel="http:// opds-spec. org/thumbnail"/>
