Calibre's reader ignores pagebreaks?

Joseph Picard · 05-31-2012, 11:54 PM

The device I was doing a lot of testing on DIED... it followed my page breaks more or less nicely, whereas the reader built into calibre seems to ignore them entirely.. am I nuts?

If not, what's a solid bit of software to test epubs in?

try ADE - it behaves very similarly to many reader devices.

calibre viewer does not do page breaks AFAIK

Calibre's reader turns a book into a long document.
Use ADE or the Firefox EPUB Reader Plugin to check page breaks

Thanks guys- I installed ADE last night in a frenzy of finding software to use, but I haven't gotten to use it much yet. Heck, half the programs I got behave differently. I've used firefox's reader, but the interface felt really ..... yuck. But if you say it reads properly, I'll give it a bigger chance. Heck, I but a lot of end readers use it, so that alone should make it worth catering to.
