Both Sigil and Calibre have ZERO problems working book wide, those made of multiple files. Some folk insist that you can only edit if a single file
No, both books are structured the same way with each chapter in its own file so its not that.

And the chapter page count is also started at whereever a ToC entry points. Overall, it works best with a one-to-one mapping between the internal files and the ToC. But, multiple ToC entries per file is fine. I just wouldn't recommend having an internal file without a ToC entry pointing to the start of it.

And of course, this isn't a Sigil question. How to create the above would be, but, how epubs work and how a particular device works should be elsewhere.
I think it must be down the the ToC file. I have edited the toc.ncx file in the the book that did not work but yet to have put it on my Kob to see if it works.
I have been working my way through both books to see if I can spot any other differences, but so far they appear to be very similar in all other details.

Yes, I realised this is not actually a Sigil problem but, as as it seems there are a lot of knowledgeable people that frequent this forum, I though I would ask here.

Thanks for the replies.
