Toxaris has modestly refrained from tooting his own horn for a macro he has created which is shown in his signature line and which a number have reported useful.

It does NOT have the capacity to change the essential nature of epubs....nothing does. Epub text is reflowable, so if you want something on a specific position on a certain page you are SOL (simply out of luck.) There are other limitations such as the aggravation of tables and the fact it takes a enormous amount of work to index because of all the links which have to be created and indexing to multiple return locations is an invitation to insanity. Sigil has a function which helps with indexing. Everything on epubs will vary on different devices and this is a headache for Hitch who heads a company which produces epubs.

For some devices there are fixed layout epubs, which are not full featured. It is a bit like going to beach and complaining that the sand is not solid concrete.
