According to Sigil It has NINE parts but Epub Reader can only see FOUR parts.

I made the book with Calibre and it can be read correctly on a PocketBook 360 but has the same problem with a CybookGen 3 i.e. the last part of the book is missing.

Edit: I changed the .epub extension to .zip and opened it up. There are EIGHT html splits and it is the last one (split 8) that is not being read.

I cannot fathom what is wrong with it. The book has a lot of accented characters but it passes the wc3 validation for xhtml using utf-8 encoding.

And I don't understand why Sigil says 9 parts, Epub Reader says 4 parts, and the .zip contains 8 parts..... beats me
Are you really sure?
Files, splits, Parts and Chapters are not quite the same thing.

I have many 14 chapter books that are done in 4 splits inside the EPUB, add the other required files/folders and the count is 11 . Add additional Images, stylesheets and the count goes up. A "Chapter" does not have to be a single file. The content.opf chains the files and pieces into the correct order.

Some books have a inline TOC (*html) which is not the same as the toc.ncx (which used by the display on the sidebar). They are mostly independent . Sometimes I choose to include a inline "Contents" page in my book edit when hitting limits of what can be done with the ncx version.

I would expect Sigil TOC editor and EPUBreader "Contents" to agree.
