Thanks for the info. I may try but I've had very little luck when attempting to use kindlegen. The results I get always seem to be pretty poor.

Also, the start guide item forces the ebook to open at whatever page you set in the href every single time the ebook opens. That's not what I want. I only want it to open there the first time the ebook is opened or whenever you select Go To, Beginning. All other times the ebook is opened, I want it to go to the last page read.

I may play with it though.
