Hello everyone,

Thanks for your reply Odedta - I appreciate you reaching out to me.

I found a video on lynda.com about preparing FXL for kindle. This really showed me that fixed layout epub and fixed layout mobi are very different. Essentially the mobi format is set up much differently than epub so the epub file I had could not be used to modify for mobi. If I had the source files for the mobi, I could have done the edits required.

The publisher re-evaluated the fxl mobi and converted it to reflowable mobi.

Thanks again!

Sue
