Removing Arrow Links on EPUB book

andy88 · 04-11-2013, 12:58 PM

Hi All,

I have an ebook (EPUB format) which I read on my iPad.

There seems to be arrow links on most pages which can be used to switch between pages. I don't like them and want to remove them.

I have included a few screenshots below :

I have tried removing the link arrows using "Sigil" software but not successful as I'm not used to XML codes.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me.

Kindest Regards,

Try Sigil again, bu then in Codeview. That is the best method, sorry.

You would probably be looking for <a> and <img src="> in the code view. You can click on them in book view and switch to code view.

However, you might want to consider not necessarily doing a replace all for them. There may be places, like at the end of a chapter before the endnotes, where skipping over several pages of footnotes would be a nice option. You could change them to text instead if you don't like how the arrows look.
