Many users assume that an epubcheck-compliant EPUB is 100% ready for Kindle conversion. In actuality, there are many small pitfalls, listed in my Kindle formatting manual (search for "EPUB" in the ebook). |
In my opinion, this is not within Sigil's purview. Nor is it Flightcrew's. It is up to the Kindlebook creator to learn what is necessary to make an epub "ready" to be converted to a Kindlebook. It is up to Sigil to make a valid epub.
We provide tools (and a plugin framework) that make it
possible to make epubs that make working Kindlebooks (for instance, the ncx/toc can easily be "flattened" using the gui ToC editor) painless and smooth. But we're not here to teach Kindlebook creator's their craft. We're here to provide epub creators with the tools to create epubs.
