Wrap Text Around Picture - Mobi

Bull06 · 03-22-2011, 09:36 PM

I am taking a book from InDesign, into ePub with text wrapped around pictures (picture to the right specifically). It comes out well in ADE, Calibre (ePub) and Nook for PC. However, when I convert to Mobi, it loses the text wrap and the picture actually aligns to the left. The sizes of the picture is small and does not split the page as I have done with to large a picture in the past.

Does any one have any ideas?!

According to this section of the Wiki on Mobi here at mobileread:

Format limitations

There are many limitations in the MOBI format. A few are listed here.

Text cannot flow around images taller than one line of text.

So is there a way to make it work for sale on Kindle?

I don't know what selling it for the Kindle has to do with this, but what dwanthny said, in shorter words, is that you can't reflow text around an image in Mobipocket books.

What about around text blocks? Does that fall in the same category?

I don't know. Check the wiki article, the specifications or ask in the MOBI subforum.
