Free web-based ePub validator

Threepress Consulting has a free, web-based ePub validator. You upload a DRM-free document and validate it against epubcheck 1.0.3 and epubprefilight 0.1.0. After it’s validated you can use thier Bookworm ePub reader to check it. Epubpreflight has been updated and now checks or content files that are empty or greater than 300k, which can’t be loaded on the Sony Reader.

A great tool — for fine-tuning and tweaking EPUB ebooks — just got better. Thanks to Liza Daly, and to O’Reilly Media, for making this available to everyone.
