Splitting the ePub into separate files at every point you want a page break is the only sure way of getting it to work universally. There are enough reports of people still having problems with the CSS method in iBooks that it can't be regarded as reliable. Creating a Book with separate Documents in it is the old way of doing this in InDesign, and it still works, but InDesign will now split the output for you if you use a particular style at the top of each new page, as I outlined.

This has made me revisit this post. In the comments section, there is still some differing reports: http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/20...ibooks-12.html
To the RHS of this site: http://threepress.org/document/epub-validate/ I noticed this suggestion: "Once you have validated your document, consider uploading it to Ibis Reader to view it in our highly-conformant EPUB reader."
I've just tried viewing my epub using this CSS in Ibis, and it doesn't work there. If Ibis is highly-conformant, does that mean page-breaks are not supported officially by epub? And that some other e-readers may also ignore this CCS? |
Threepress' Ibis is
NOT 'highly-conformant', despite their claims. This is just one example of the problems with their on-line reader. The sad fact is that there isn't
any reader that fully matches every part of the ePub2 spec, though Adobe's probably comes closest.
