Hi,

I'm using Calibre for quite some time now, but recently the publisher of a series changed something inside content.opf.

Now, when converting .epup from this particular publisher to -mobi format for my Kindle Paperwhite, the ebook initially opens on the last page.

I tracked this down to the following line inside content.opf:

Code:
<reference type="text" title="Beginning" href="001.html#a0"/>
As soon as I change the title from "Beginning" to "Start", the ebook opens at the first page.

The question now is, can I automate this substitution when importing the .epub file into Calibre? (And if yes, how?)

thanks for any hint how to achieve this.

To find the start location I use the search and replace regex builder to look inside to find the start point.
