I have a book available in paperback and I would now like to make available a Nook version (Barnes & Noble e-book). I used B&N's PubIt interface to convert a Microsoft Word version to Epub format, but the file is still buggy. I would like to do some editing on the Epub file to clean it up (I know some XHTML and CSS), but I can't figure out how to see the coding.

I normally work in Notepad, but I just get gibberish if I try to open the Epub in that. Does anyone know what software (preferably inexpensive or free) I could use to edit an Epub? Thanks so much for your help.
