Hello. I'm brand new to Sigil. I'm familiar with Calibre, but Sigil appears to be precisely what I want to use for the actual editing of an e-book.

This is probably a routine question, and I have read the documentation, but I'm having trouble finding the answer to it.

My ultimate goal is to create ebooks that can be read on a tablet. I just bought a Google Nexus 7 and want my test ebook to be displayed on the tablet. I want people to be able to swipe their finger to turn a page.

So…this question pertains to creating page breaks with Sigil, or enabling it to treat .xhtml files within the project as separate pages. I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I'm requesting assistance, please.

I've created a simple, text-only test ebook with Sigil. Right now, the text book has three .xhtml files. The first is the Title Page. The other two are just two other sections.

(I'd normally call them Chapters, but Sigil apparently can create chapters within .xmtl files, so I have to be careful with the nomenclature.)

Anyway…when I view the ebook in various viewers, including Calibre, all of the sections seem to be merged into one, and to read it all, you have to scroll down. In other words, you can't click the Next Page or Previous Page options to turn pages. It's all one page.

I haven't figured out yet how to edit the text book with Sigil in order to have page breaks, or to create separate pages. Am I doing something wrong?

What has to be done to get separate pages?

Thank you for your assistance. Sigil appears to be precisely what I want to create ebooks with. J. Danniel
