Kindle Ebook Conversion
Hi All,!!!
I'm converting from HTML -> Mobi using Calibre. Plz look at the attached screenshot. The number "168", and the horizontal line below it, actually mark the ending of a page. Similarly, the number "169" below, is the page number of the next page. However, in Kindle, these are being shown as one continuous page! Plz ignore the colored letters at the bottom of the page. They're scanning artifacts. Note - Currently, the Horizontal bar inserted into the HTML file, is for identifying where a page ends. What should I do to make these show as separate pages on the Kindle ? Thank you!! PS - A lady friend is leaving for Australia soon. I want to send her a few books, in a readable format! Help is greatly appreciated!! Last edited by somkk; 03-30-2012 at 12:28 PM. |

If you absolutely need hard pagination like that, then print the file to a PDF. The Kindle will read PDFs. You can also just give her the HTML renamed as a .txt file...it can read that too.
But far better if your content did not have such page layouts hard coded...one of the main features of an ereaders is that a "page" is reflowed depending on the users preferences. Lastly, I'm sure it's possible to tweak Calibre to detect the page number and horizontal rule and make an appropriate page break, but that's well beyond anything I've bothered with.
