This is a technical book with numerous headings in each chapter. Is there a way to configure how iBooks counts the pages in a chapter? I need it to disregard the headings and treat each .xhtml file as a separate chapter.
I do not believe that is possible with iBooks. If you watch closely you will find that iBooks loads all of the files at once into the reading environment. The boundaries of files is lost. Other eBook readers only load each file as it is referenced. While it takes a little longer to initially load the eBook in iBooks the performance after it is loaded is better.
