Note that I've merged many PRs that work like magic but also performed some tweaks without thoughtful considerations, thus it may present buggy issues and few pesticide could mitigate.

- mimetype
- content.opf
- Usage
The EPUB® format provides a means of representing, packaging and encoding structured and semantically enhanced Web content — including HTML, CSS, SVG and other resources — for distribution in a single-file container.
- META-INF (container.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<container version="1.0" xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:opendocument:xmlns:container">
<rootfiles>
<rootfile full-path="content.opf" media-type="application/oebps-package+xml"/>
</rootfiles>
</container>
- mimetype
application/epub+zip
- content.opf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<package xmlns="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf"
xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect"
version="3.1"
unique-identifier="bookid">
<metadata xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<dc:identifier id="bookid">XXXXXXXXXXXXX</dc:identifier>

And EPUB is basically a compressed combination of all files above plus other meta-data collections, however here comes another problem where python's shutil.make_archive(zip) works in apple's Books whilst unix's zip system doesn't. (There has to be some connections between there two, very peculiar yet I'm curious to know, gotta dig it deeper).
