Our online bookstore, MilitaryFamilyBooks.com has just begun selling ebooks, using the Downloadable Products settings on Product Cart 4.6.

For the Kindle (.mobi) files, the purchase/download process is working as we imagined (and as designed, I believe.)

For the iBooks (.ePub) files, the purchase works fine, but the download is incorrect. Rather than downloading the exact .ePub file that we've pointed it to, ProductCart somehow converts it to a .zip file.

Has anyone heard of this happening before and what can I do to fix it? All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I would not expect this behavior to be the result of anything in ProductCart. Have you and your host experimented with the MIME settings for your site? This is a setting that affects IIS and would be performed directly on the server or via a hosting control panel.
