A. your client mightn't be thrilled. I assume it's copyrighted?
B. with all due respect, if you're
charging to do this, by now--some 3 years later--you ought to
already know that mbp-pagebreak (colon removed due to emoticon) hasn't worked in ages, since the advent of KF8.
I don't mean to sound harsh, and for all I know, this is an unpaid favor you're doing someone, and you don't hold yourself out as a professional bookmaker.
But if you're charging to make eBooks--if you're saying
you're good enough to be paid--your scope of knowledge should already have this more-than-covered.
I get inquiries every single week from prospective clients with crap books, made by BAD bookmakers, who took them for a ride. This is a hot button issue with me. If I've lumped you in, unfairly, then my apologies in advance. But if you don't know how to force new pages in mobi, you shouldn't be charging to make them, that's absolutely certain. On top of that, you're building the book with
Calibre--not the Calibre editor, but the "converter"--which also should NOT be used as a professional ebook-building tool.
