Dear Friends,

Thanks for the ideas. Lots of experience in this group.

I tried searching, but couldn't find threads that explain it. If someone can point me to one easily, I would appreciate it.

I guess it was not so much *having* 365 files in the book, so much as having to *rename* 365 files. But I can get over that. I know I don't have to rename, but that makes it easier in the creation process.

@cybemole: When you say, "anyway, you should be able to achieve it within one file by ensuring each new day begins with a <h2> tagged line." do you mean that it will start a new page on the reading device as well? Perhaps you were just talking about the 5-way jumping.

In my original post, I just intended to say that I wanted it to be readable on different devices using some sort of chapter to chapter jumping. I had no idea that there was a difference between commercial and non. It is non-commercial, but I was hoping people could view it on "Kindle for..." devices. I think I understand now that if it is not a real from-Amazon Kindle book, there is always better reading software for the device any way, so not to worry too much about that. The .mobi's seem to work well on the Kindle itself. As I said, I just plan on using Calibre for the conversion.

So is my understanding correct that it is the <h1> tags, etc that are what the five way controller uses to navigate the book?

Thanks everyone!
