Referenced image file is missing
Images · E-IMG
Definition
Your book references an image file that isn't included in the EPUB package. We report this but do not generate replacement art.
Why
- img src or CSS background url points to a file omitted from the zip.
- Manifest lacks the image item even when the binary is present (often pairs with E-MIME).
- Case or path mismatch after renaming assets.
- Export linked to a local absolute path that never entered the EPUB.
Impact
May block submission on KDP when this rule fails.
