Re: Discover new usage of epub

Hey Judy


No worries. Since those epub are all converted from github and free to 
use so you can download from here directly.


https://wysebee.io/demo/htmlbook.epub

https://wysebee.io/demo/flappy-bird.epub

https://wysebee.io/demo/astray.epub


These epubs might not pass epubcheck due to some syntax issue.


Lemme know if any questions.


Cheers,

Zheng
