Kovid, thanks for the reply back. I was unable to make the NCX file catch when I was testing any2mobi. I tried running it on the opf I had made in Creator and on the HTML file. I am trying to get the location bar on the K2 to have waypoints the same way it does in a PRC made with Creator

As I outline in my Kindle Formatting book, there is a lot of HTML formatting that is not valid in Mobi/Kindle, and some specific Kindle formatting that is not necessarily valid HTML. An example of this problem is the lack of support for outlines made from list tags. Mobi does not support the list-style-type CSS or the related HTML attribute, so there is no way to make an outline like that. I use a selection of special markup to make outlines look good. So, I could make an ePub first, but, as with Mobigen, the formatting does not necessarily translate to Mobi perfectly. I really want the best of both worlds: Mobipocket Creator's ability to take my HTML and make a Mobi directly, and any3mobi's ability to gracefully handle large image files.

The best way for you to see the types of formatting peculiarities I am talking about is for you to read my book. I'd be happy to send you a copy if you like. Just tell me if you want it in print, PDF, ePub, or Mobi (print, PDF, and ePub are best).

I appreciate your assistance.

- Joshua
