Thanks macminer, it worked great. All I did was add <h2></h2> where I wanted page breaks, and I got them. Too damn bad I had to spot it on Amazon yesterday.

It turns out the reason for the lack of page breaks in the html may be the fault of the publisher, or whomever did the electronic conversion for them.

When I first purchased the book, I noticed that while reading it on eReader on my Mac, the word "Introduction" stayed in the upper left hand corner the entire way through the book. I went into Windows and it was the same. Page breaks were fine.

I emailed eReader.com and got a reply stating that they had confirmed the problem and sent an "urgent" message to the publisher. I should note here that eReader on my Touch does display properly, page breaks included.

Now that I have three different versions, pdb, html, and epub converted from prc, I can see the difference. The ereader version TOC has only one thing in it, "Introduction" (hence my eReader on the desktop problem).

The Amazon version TOC has About the Author, Title Page, Copyright Page, Dedication, and then Introduction. These were all places where I wanted a page break in the html, but didn't have one.

Thanks to all for your help.
