Pages will not turn in converted books

Loz123 · 12-28-2018, 07:02 PM

Hi all, I saved a bunch of stories from various websites as HTML files, then plonked them into Calibre and converted to MOBI. All good there - I can view them fine in Calibre and all looks normal. But when I transfer onto my Kindle, I can read the first page of the stories, but when I tap the screen to go to the next page, it takes me straight to the end of the book. It is happening for all of them. Back in Calibre on my computer, page turning works fine (I can scroll down or use the arrows to go between pages)...

Has anyone had this happen before? Is there a solution?

When I say 'a bunch' of stories I mean about 700 of them, so am hoping there is some kind of automated solution!!!!
