Amazon Kindle eBook: return link problem

abdel.badou · 08-04-2015, 05:15 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm a student from Switzerland and I'm trying to write an ebook for Amazon's kindle devices (in HTML CSS).
I already generated the .mobi and everything is working well.
I still have only one problem, I want to add a link "back to page" having the same behaviour as the back button and I was wondering if there was a function I can call or anything else that I can use to trigger this button or mimic its behavior.

More precisely, when I press a hyperlink (in page 1) going to a new page (page 2) inside the book, I am enable to recover page 1 with the same view because I don’t know where page 1 starts (different from one kindle to another). Also using a Hyperlink in page 2 pointing to the hyperlink in page 1 brings a shifted view where the hyperlink in page 1 is set at the top of the page.
The back button that is present on kindle resolve this problem, allowing me to came back to the original view of page 1, but I cannot find a way to call this button.
I’m looking for something like: Back to book, is this possible?
Also if this is not possible, is there a way to create popups in the book like the traduction popups when I hover words?

Thank you very much for your help,
Abdel Badou
