I converted a book to mobi using Calibre recently and sent a copy to my friend Ann. I know iPad doesn't handle mobi files natively, but she uses the Kindle for iPad application, and that apparently works well enough for her.
The mobi file I sent her looked great (it has several photos in it as well as the text) and the paragrahs and indents all looked correct. However, she had a small bit of difficulty with the auto-generated TOC that Calibre places at the end of the file. She wrote the following:
Quote:
The one at the end is OK. Except it has the numbers along the side of the page after:
Chapter titles
1
2
3
4
5
|
The book has 7-chapters plus a preface; bibliography; and 104-endtnotes, all of which I hyperlinked via bookmarking in html before doing the Mobi conversion. The TOC near the beginning of the book is hyperlinked also, and she had no trouble with that, nor the endnotes. All worked correctly. It's just that TOC at the end of the book. Only 4 of the chapters showed up plus these odd numbers. I thought the numbers were probably just the endnotes, but she says they aren't linked to anything and aren't clickable.
My question is, does this type of thing happen often when using the Kindle for iPad app? I had intented to ask about this in the Calibre forum, but I thought I'd check here first to see if it's a problem with iPad trying to read mobi files with that Kindle app.
Thanks.
