Even though there isn't a page-break, each chapter is setup as a separate html file. There are no page-before options set. I don't know if something isn't coded right in Sigil or if it's a Calibre issue when I do my final conversion to mobi. I don't see options set there that I think would be causing it either. Do I need to have all fifty some-odd chapters setup as one single html file with the chapter headers marked within the file? It doesn't seem like that would make a difference but maybe it does.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

50 Chapters is probably bigger than 260K (If Calibre splits the chapter part file, it probably is.), Many readers can't handle that in a single segment.

Look in the Style sheet for a "page-break-before:...", that may give you some control.
I suggest you read up on that before doing wild things with the setting:
