Is it by any chance Fixed-Format then? Because fixed-format books might very well have that abundance of page-breaks previously mentioned.


Consider:
Jon advised you that RTF is an unwise workflow. That is not the direction of discussion anyone else targeted.
Jon also advised you to check your book for page breaks


If you are determined to believe everyone is being rude to you, that is your prerogative.
Aggressive behavior does not encourage anyone to desire to help you.

Books in general seem to work fine, there is empirical evidence to that. It follows, therefore, that any issues will be resident in the code of your books -- they are doing something odd, possibly in a deliberate manner.

Look, I don't mean to diss your superior books or whatever... but if these O'Reilly books were constructed in a manner conducive to printing the way you wish, it seems they have failed. Many publishers fail in interesting and creative ways. Including many who you'd think (based on whatever arbitrary standard, I do not know) would be competent enough to produce ebooks that are a paragon of virtue.


And I think I am finished with this thread...
