I'm trying to upload a Leanpub book to Google Play and it's not working. What can I do?

Sometimes people report that a Leanpub EPUB book file won't upload to Google Play Books, and they see the message "Processing Failed":

Unfortunately this appears to be an issue with Google Play, and there is nothing we can do about it.

However, most Leanpub ebooks are also available in PDF format, and that should work in Google Play, so you can read the book in that format on your Android device.

We currently don't have a recommended alternative. If you have an Android ereader app you think we should recommend, please let us know by contacting the team at hello@leanpub.com.
