Y'know, there's nothing preventing you from using MOBIPOCKET to make a book. You can still convert a PRC into a MOBI file very easily. If you got your MOBIpocket book to look like you wanted it, post here.
I think what happened is that you loaded an HTML file somehow, without the concomitant IMAGE file that went with it. When you save a Word file "as HTML, filtered," it saves the .htm file AND a folder full of images (try it and tell me if you see it). Then, you added images to the book
manually, in MBPC. You didn't add them with the correct path.
If you simply:
- Save As in Word, and use Web Page, Filtered;
- Then use THAT .htm file, in "Import From Existing File," and
- Simply open the file in your Web Browser (View),
- You should see the images where they are supposed to be.
You don't need to add the images separately. So, to be clear, when you save your Word file to "filtered HTML," you will see a) an .htm file, and b) a FOLDER of images, both in the same directory. When you use MBPC, simply "Import from Existing File," and navigate to that specific htm file.
Build from there (after doing the rest--add cover, do the meta, etc.) Your file should be perfect. Don't re-add the images; they'll end up at the end of the book. This should resolve your path issues.
Then, if you really want to make it "match" what Amazon wants, we can tell you how to drag and drop the OPF onto KindleGen to make a "mobi" file, but (big secret), you can also just rename the damn thing "mobi" and it should uptake at Amazon.
I hope that helps.
