It allows users to analyze EPUB packages to detect structural issues, inconsistencies, and errors that may affect readability or compatibility with eBook readers. The tool focuses on validation and inspection rather than content creation, making it suitable for quality control and technical review of existing EPUB publications. It is intended for use in digital publishing workflows where correctness and standard compliance are required.
