I strongly suggest that you use Kindle Previewer to convert your book instead of calibre. MOBI files created using calibre are sometimes rejected by Amazon and do not include the information needed to allow the Enhanced Typesetting features of the Kindle platform to be enabled for your book.
There isn't much point in worrying about the start position for your book. Amazon will override whatever you set as part of the publishing process anyway. |
Hey Jhowel! Thanks for replying to this. We do plan on publishing it on Amazon and we're looking into getting it all perfect before we do so. I know that Amazon overrides the formatting when we upload it though. It's sad. I just wish they would stick to epubs.
But do you by any chance know the reasons why the Beginning page issue happens on just the physical kindle?
I tried converting via Kindle Previewer but it's still the same and it makes the mobi file twice as huge (from 1.2MB (calibri converted mobi) to 6.6MB (Kindle Previewer mobi))
