oeb:redirect Hyperlinks to different ebook (on the Kindle)

Kitard · 07-17-2010, 11:28 AM

Hi - I have this working using the Kindle Reader on the PC. Its apparently a mobipocket custom tag to allow you to jump to other ebooks.

Hyperlinks between different ebook files

Linking to another ebook

You use the oeb:redirect special URL to link to a different ebook. The syntax is:

<a href="oeb:redirect?title=DatabaseName">External Link</a>

My KIndle (DX G) doesn't seem to recognise the link and displays it a plain text.

Anybody else got oeb:redirect to work? Thanks

The Kindle reader is based on the Java MobiPocket Reader, which does not support Inter-book links. See Cross-platform feature support for a table of features.
