I mean, it's like almost every book is the first book one's made, if you see what I'm saying; one bloody surprise after another. Still screwing around with image-crafting for images (like fluerons, or chapter-head images) that are not full-sized, to work on all Kindle devices perfectly. It's an endless battle.

Preach it, Sistah!

Hoo boy, do I feel your pain. I recommend heavy doses of the Serenity Prayer, and lighter doses of Wild Turkey.

As for the emulator, I can't experiment ATM because of a big thunderstorm that prompted me to shut down the non-essential servers (including my Windows boxen) but IIRC I know it doesn't accurately emulate the "go to" menu item in that it lists all the guide items (even the non-supported ones) and they function. For all devices, I think.

So once the storm passes, I will gin up (or is that Jinn up?) a test case with different HTML and NCX toc's and see how it goes. I would hate to have to buy another couple of Kindles but if that's what it takes...

Thanks for the info and, as always, your masterly (not "masterful") rants.
