Converting to mobi

rcuadro · 03-12-2009, 03:36 AM

I was not sure if this should go here or the mobi section... so I chose this one since I am using Calibre to convert...

I think I have LRFT tools somewhat figured out... and by that I mean that I can convert and LRF into the other supported formats.

I took an LRF and converted it to HTLM, edited the HTML in word to get it lined up right, and then put it into Calibre to convert into mobi.
Sound simple enough... and conversion looks fine using the Calibre viewer.

When I put the file into my K2 that is where the problems start. Instead of having my TOC with their links to the different chapters, each link has its own page and I cant figure out why.

what do you mean by page of its own?

Say the book starts of like this on the LRF:
On one screen you will have:
Book title
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
... and so on until you get to the bottom of the screen

I convert to HTML and then into mobi and I get:
Fisrt screen says Book Totle
Second : Chapter 1
Third: Chapter 2
Fourth: Chapter 3

On the plus side, I converted the LRFs to EPUB and then to MOBI and it seems to work out just fine

just change the chapter detection setting or turn off chapter detection.
