A Small Reading Check
Created by BookTranslator Team on 2026-09-08.

This EPUB contains two short original English chapters with a contents menu,
accented characters and ordinary punctuation. No third-party book text,
fonts, images, account data or protected content is included.

Permission: you may copy, adapt, translate and redistribute this sample.

Local file checks performed:
- ZIP CRC integrity and six archive entries.
- Exact uncompressed mimetype entry placed first.
- Container resolves to the package document.
- Title, language and identifier metadata are present.
- Every declared content resource exists.
- Reading order contains the two intended chapters.
- Both contents links resolve to existing chapter headings.

Comparison experiment:
A private copy changed the second contents link to a nonexistent heading.
ZIP integrity and resource checks still passed; the link-destination check
failed. See file-check-results.csv. The broken copy is not distributed here.

Scope:
These are local structural checks, not full EPUB conformance validation.
No Kobo device, Kobo account, USB import, Google Drive import, Dropbox import
or rendering test was performed. This is not an official Kobo test file.
A small reflowable English sample cannot establish compatibility for a large
illustrated book, fixed-layout publication or every writing system.

To compare on your own reader:
Keep your device, account and route fixed. Record what happens with the sample,
then with your own lawful, unprotected EPUB. Compare the last successful stage:
file, connection, import, or reading. A difference narrows the investigation;
it does not by itself identify the cause.
