Whereas this works well on Wikipedia (at least "frwiki"), mediawiki.org seems to be unable to export in the ZIM format. If you choose "Kiwix (openZIM), the "Special:Book" page will generate a PDF instead.
To reproduce:
1 - Enable book creator
2 - Add any page
3 - Generate the book, choose "Kiwix (openZIM)"
4 - Download the file
The file is a PDF, it should be a ZIM file.
Version: wmf-deployment
Severity: normal

At the same time, notice that the requested export to ODT / ODF also provides a PDF file, if you
1 - enable Book Creator;
2 - add any page of mediawiki.org;
3 - generate a book, choosing "ODT"
4 - download the file
The file is a PDF too, despite you asked for an ODF.
I get this problem on enwikibooks too, so not just mediawiki.org.
However, things seem fine on en.wikipedia.org (Which is kind of odd as enwikibooks and enwikipedia should be using the same version)

Same thing with exporting to EPUB

This is working nowadays - I checked on mediawiki.org with a hex editor that the file is in ZIM format.
