Dale,
I hope to purchase a Cybook Gen3 from NAEB when they accept orders next week. I've never owned an e-reader. I want to convert my
handwritten HTML genealogy files
http://home.att.net/~jg245/ and create an e-book. Cybook Gen3 would be very convenient to store my notes when I search archives. I like what I have learned about BookDesigner 5, but I became leary of using it when I saw the Russian language at
www.bookdesigner.org/. (That scared me off!) I plan to use MOBIPOCKET book CREATOR to group the files into one ebook. I want to set up the tag name/attributes correctly before using the MOBIPOCKET Table of Contents Wizard to set each descendent family tree file as a separate chapter.
In each family file the creation dates are currently at the bottom, not in the heading. I am concerned that an <a anchor creates a hypertext link which will not work between "chapter" files in the Cybook. Will they work for a TOC?
RE "the main trick", is it necessary to add <a href="toc" and a date to the header of each file before using the MOBIPOCKET Wizard to create the TOC?
Thank you for your advice!
Susan
Learning as I go!

Header, footers, and TOC fall into that kind of classification. The results will be an html files with a different extension but you can then direct edit the html to fix anything you like.
The main trick to toc, by the way, it to make sure there is a <a name="toc" /> just ahead of the data to make it work.
