Can create wikibooks as EPUB files, but cannot download wikibooks as EPUB files?

Resolved

 – SiBr4 kindly has extended the edit-protected template Saved book so that users can now conveniently download books in the EPUB format. – Tobias Bergemann (talk) 19:52, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

When working on a wikibook with the book creator, I have the options to download the wikibook that I am currently working from the "Manage your book" page in the following formats:

• "e-book (PDF)",
• "word processor (OpenDocument)",
• "Kiwix (OpenZIM)", and
• "e-book (EPUB)".

When viewing a wikibook in the web browser I have the following options:

• "Download PDF",
• "Download ODT",
• "Download ZIM",
• "Open in Book Creator", and
• "Order Printed Book".

I.e., here is no option to save the wikibook as an EPUB file. Of course, I can use "Open in Book Creator" instead, and then I can download the wikibook as an EPUB again, but that seems unnecessary complicated. What am I missing?

I have re-opened the existing change request to the edit-protected template Saved book. See Template talk:Saved book#Edit request on 19 January 2013. – Tobias Bergemann (talk) 19:38, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

When I download a book I only get the title page

Download this book: Book:Maya_Angelou_autobiographies. When I download as a PDF, it's just one page, yet it should contain all of her works. This was on the main page a few days ago, which is how I came upon it. --101.171.85.85 (talk) 23:53, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
