Problem with Sigil file in Nook
Hi, I'm quite new here. I love Sigil so far, but I have a problem.
I have written an ebook (put together originally in Serif PagePlus), which I exported as an epub. I did the final editing and TOC -- which PP does badly -- in Sigil ). Everything was reasonably easy. I used the epub to make a great Kindle book (kindlegen). I'm also selling the EPUB on my own site. It works well in all sorts of EPUB readers. It is squeaky clean -- passes EPUBCHECK validation like a breeze.
But it does NOT work in the Nook. A tryout on my Nook app on the Android reveals tiny text, NO response to attempt to change font, no text flow, no larger font. It's all but unusable, unless you have super-vision. The only page that does respond to font change is the TOC itself. That's it.
I thought this was due to it not being actually converted to the Nook format. But when I uploaded it to the Nook store, and it went live, I downloaded a sample -- I get the exact same thing with the tiny text. However, if I look at the same sample in the previewer on the BandN site, it works perfectly!
This is really just the short version of the endless rounds of frustration I've gone through on the conversion to Nook. The people at Nook Press/Barnes and Noble have been zero help since the beginning. They evidently don't comment on formatting, except to show you their EPUB formatting and CSS guidelines. I have done everything according to the guidelines.
What have I done wrong? Has anyone else had this problem and know what is causing it? Thanks.
