Most people wont notice any of this, but I noticed all of this, because I wanted to see pages left in chapter, which aren't feasible on mobi format, then I strugged forever to get chapter marks to show up on a converted epub through calibre (now Ive figured it out and its really easy ![]() In all of this I found that I found epub easier to disect due to xml etc and think its time for a similar mobi format, although as I said earlier with the same DRM scheme ![]() Quote:

Haha, my pet peeves are showing. ![]() Amazon can start by helping Smashwords fix their Meatgrinder. There have been times I've downloaded nearly every available format for a book, trying to find the one that's the least mangled. I don't know if I added anything to this discussion, but I sure do feel better now that I got that out of my system. |

The only reason why Ican see this being a major concern would be to get a better reach into educational markets.
It's easy to say "read chapter 1" but sometimes it might only be part of it and part of another. Formatting naturally can change things as fonts and spacing change. I think eventually it will be sorted out. That being said I like kindle more and more. |

![]() Beautiful ebooks can be designed in the mobi format... I've seen them. When it comes to what you can display, mobi is really only limited by the same things that affect most reflowable ebook formats. The only thing lacking with mobi (really, truly lacking) is the ability for neophytes to create fantastically formatted ebooks, easily... and conveniently. There needs to be more convenient/efficient mobi creation software (with more documentation)—NOT new spec. |

![]() ![]() ![]() Have you always had your location in your profile? Cuz I've seen your posts around but never noticed it till today, and it's not something I would normally overlook. I like seeing where various posters are from, and I think my city would have stood out had I seen it. ![]() |

![]() Good info, nice find! Is that info in the Wiki here on MR? (I'd search, but that doesn't seem to be my strong point today.) If not, maybe you could add it, since you've actually done it. Quote:
It's good that you have a variety of devices - you probably have some good info for people on the "Which one should I buy?" forum. I, on the other hand, am a Kindle specialist. (That's not to say I'm an expert, only that I've specialized ![]() |

Um, haven't we had this page-numbering debate at least half a dozen times awreddy? If you want page numbers for .mobi files, put them in with the Calibre plug-in. If you don't, don't....
