Writing an EPUB
Editing capabilities are currently very limited and might not work at all. Use it at your own risk. The next release will bring a true write support.
EpubWriter writer = new EpubWriter();
writer.AddAuthor("Foo Bar");
writer.SetCover(imgData, ImageFormat.Png);
writer.Write("new.epub");
