But you don't have a choice over "ignoring" MOBI, do you? I thought that if you put it up on amazon, it's not up to you, but rather up to whomever is buying the book, whatever device they have -- and one doesn't have control over that. That's been the understanding I've been going by, anyway, all this time (and basically why I gave up on it).

You have to decide what's best for your books. Also by coding for iBooks specifically, you do have to code in a way that won't work in ePub or KF8.
Well, that's pretty much what started this whole thread, I guess, as far as page breaks go. As I said earlier, I was only planning on putting my book(s) up on the iBooks store -- having forsaken everything else -- but at the same time it would certainly be nice if they worked all-around (as EPUBs), that I could still give my books away to friends who wanted to just look at them on other platforms.

But I could live with just resigning myself to iBooks, and leaving it at that, too -- it's a shame, but what the fudge, I'm not making any money off anything I do anyway, I do it "just for the love of ebooks (or, rather, ebook-making).
