Go To > Beginning

I have:

a healthy epub3
mangled by means of Sigil (0.9.3)
... with added semantics, notably "text"
convert to mobi with Kindle Previewer

Aaaaand Go To > Beginning doesn't, as I would expect, steer the device to the XHTML page marked "text", but rather one preceding it (note that each chapter/section is a separate XHTML file).

Add Semantics won't update the Landmarks section in your ePub3. You'll have to manually add them to the nav document. At a bare minimum it should look like this:

Code:

    <nav id="landmarks" epub:type="landmarks">
      <h2>Guide</h2>
      <ol>
        <li>
          <a epub:type="cover" href="../Text/cover.xhtml">Cover</a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a epub:type="bodymatter" href="../Text/chapter01.xhtml">Start Reading</a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a epub:type="toc" href="../Text/nav.xhtml">Table of Contents</a>
        </li>
      </ol>
    </nav>

Will try that, thank you.

You're a genius @Doitsu, the bodymatter entry worked for me. Thank you.

Please let us know if it works in the book as published (and purchased)!

Thanks - NJ

That thought did cross my mind ... :roll eyes:

It is for just such reasons that I try to be the first purchaser of each of my published books.

(Besides, the purchase returns me 70 percent of the price and gives me a boost to 250,000 or so on the sales ranking.)
