A page in epub getting skipped....?

Joseph Picard · 06-09-2012, 01:50 PM

I'm just about done converting my 2nd book ('Watching Yute') and things are spiffy!

Except in the last couple pages.. I have a "other books in this series" bit, and it starts out dandy, but on turning the page, it skips the next page, and lands on the last page, every freakin time. When you go BACKWARDS through the pages, it shows the missed page, but forwards, again, it skips.

In desperation, I nuked the section and replaced the could graphics and other formatting with a plan number listing... and it still does it!

The mobi output is fine... so wtf....

After a little bit of testing, this error only seems to be happening in ADE... sony reader, firefox, and calibre's own reader seem to have no issues with it...

... but still! WTF??

It means there may be an error in the coding that's causing it. The only way for us to maybe be able to help is if you post the code in the ePub forum.

Well, that's why I did a test with just numbers and <br>s in the affected pages... unless you mean code in the post-conversion epub file... I'll have to look a little later. My 1 year old's nap is over... (sneaking some 1 hand posting while he's 'booting up' in my other arm)
