(MOBI) Proper way to split pages after a chapter / kindle touch
I use kindle touch, and I added a new e-book. I first set the book up in Word 2010, and I used ctrl+enter function after the last line in a chapter to keep the new chapter on a separate page. I created a ToC, and sent it all to my device. Now, whenever I come to an end of the chapter in kindle, the last line of a chapter ends, for example, in the middle of the screen, and then I have an empty (kindle) page, and then I have neatly formatted new chapter heading on top of its new page.
What am I doing wrong? What's the proper way to split pages after chapters? |

You are right, theducks. There is no need to hit ctrl+enter after each paragraph, it's done automatically. Thanks a lot!
It seems I am yet much to learn about e-books. |

I read on a 5" device. I Like the way paper books are laid out... So I start chapters on a fresh page. I indent paragraphs that have a a small paragraph spacing and increase the spacing 25% for a non indented style. Standard margins are tiny (the display bezel is my big margin ) It is all user preference |

Oooh...you can edit all that? Nice!
Hey, what about tables and graphics? Long tables? And text written in two rows? (like newspapers) Okay, I'm getting off-topic here. |

2 columns might be faked with tables, but then you mess up the reflow (there are few paperbacks with 2 columns, which closest match 5-6" readers for display area) Charts and (real) tables are probably better on larger devices and sometimes must be done as Images, just to keep them sane under any resize. |
