Greg,

I've tried this a couple of times on a half finished RST file with no link to a cover image, hoping to see what the automatically generated book cover would look like. I downloaded the epub format and looked at it with an archive utility and did not see any image files in it.

Other than that, it seems to work pretty well.

James, others: The system is still suffering from rebuilding a RAID array, so I have quiesced it by shutting off Apache, rsync, and other services.

I might just relocate ebookmaker to another server, but for now it is not available at https://ebookmaker2.pglaf.org
