First let me say thanks for your quick reply!

I see. As long as it doesn't matter in the ebook then it doesn't matter so much to me. When I read my ebook through the kindle for PC I see there is a "skip to next section" and that's where things start messing up. If I just go page by page, I don't have a problem.

I don't use different images in the book, they are all unique. I've checked my HTML validation with Sigil and there's no problems found. The online tool has a limit of 10 MB. My final size was 41.1MB with all the images as compressed as I could get them (It's around 440 images).
The only real problem starts happening if I start using the "skip to next section" in my ereader tools. If I don't use that, the images show up fine and in the correct order. I just don't want something happening where peoples are downloading the book and seeing incorrect images for the recipes - seems unprofessional.

I see, I've gone ahead and done that. Hopefully that will solve the problem. As far as I read, Amazon will supposedly reject my book if there is a double cover anyway, is that correct?

The ebook is pretty much ready to go. If I upload the ePub to amazon, they strip the source out of it, correct? When I use KindleGen to convert to .mobi the book looks fine with no alterations so I was planning to just have amazon do it on their side.
