I don't quite follow though. I mean the HTML text, the words of the book, are perfect, including the em dashes, italics, etc. How can the fact that the epub conversions leave out the em dashes be ereader2html's fault? What tag, or lack of one, would cause that? |

Thank you. It was helpful, in that I learned there is more than meets the eye to these conversions. I tried some steps recommended in that thread, but with no real success.
Now listen to this. I went back to Amazon in frustration to click on the link, "I'd like to read this book on Kindle", which is provided for any book not available yet on the Kindle. Amazon forwards the request to the publisher. Well it's on the Kindle! I swear I have clicked on that link before, checked numerous times, including just a few days ago before I bought it at ereader.com. So I bought it, and it converted just fine to epub, just like all my other Amazon purchases have. The book even starts on it's own page. Thanks everyone for your help. |

Thanks macminer, it worked great. All I did was add <h2></h2> where I wanted page breaks, and I got them. Too damn bad I had to spot it on Amazon yesterday.
It turns out the reason for the lack of page breaks in the html may be the fault of the publisher, or whomever did the electronic conversion for them. When I first purchased the book, I noticed that while reading it on eReader on my Mac, the word "Introduction" stayed in the upper left hand corner the entire way through the book. I went into Windows and it was the same. Page breaks were fine. I emailed eReader.com and got a reply stating that they had confirmed the problem and sent an "urgent" message to the publisher. I should note here that eReader on my Touch does display properly, page breaks included. Now that I have three different versions, pdb, html, and epub converted from prc, I can see the difference. The ereader version TOC has only one thing in it, "Introduction" (hence my eReader on the desktop problem). The Amazon version TOC has About the Author, Title Page, Copyright Page, Dedication, and then Introduction. These were all places where I wanted a page break in the html, but didn't have one. Thanks to all for your help. Last edited by galavanter; 11-01-2009 at 02:34 PM. |
