Chapter title pages not showing in Kindle

MchneGunCarrie · 12-13-2022, 05:44 AM

Good day,
Hope Im posting in the correct place. Im working on a book in Sigil and I want separator pages before each chapter (i.e "Chapter 1: BlahBlahBlah).

It shows on Kindle Reader App on my phone and on Kindle reader app for PC but not on my kindle. (Maybe its because I have a Kindle Keyboard???)

This is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:epub="http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>Introduction: We Are Winning </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../page_style.css"/>
<style>.center {padding: 70px 0; text-align: center;}</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="center">
<h2>Introdction</h2>
<img width="60" height="60" src="../Images/hand.png"/>
<h1>We Are Winning</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Thank you kindly in advance

I think in mobi format each chapter needs to be a new file.
In general on most ereaders if you want a new page for any reason, a new file will do it.

Your <img tag (line) is naked.
It need to be in a block level tag <div> works nice because defaults are simple without additional mumble

Code:

 <div class="heading-image-size-container" style="width: 16.6%">

            <img src="images/arilauralucy_logo_jestersm1.jpg" alt="" class="heading-image-image"/>

          </div>

Missed that.

Kindle Keyboard is Mobi only (limited) and not AZW3

It is in its own file.

There is nothing Sigil specific about this thread. It would be better located in the epub or kindle forums here. In the future for similar issues please use those forums so more people see it and benefit from any response.

Thank you.

I agree. But in the OP's defense, the post was moved here by a mod from another part of the forum.

theducks · 12-13-2022, 11:00 AM

Mobi also does not support stylesheets (or a lot of things EPUB or AZW3 can do).

KevinH · 12-13-2022, 11:01 AM

Sorry, I did not know a moderator moved it here.

No biggie. I only knew because I saw the initial report about it being posted in the wrong place.

Quoth · 12-13-2022, 12:10 PM

Must be hard modding. Sometimes is it spam or not? Where should it go?

I did have problems with lack of page breaks on Mobi sending docx to Amazon KDP. It was solved purely by switching on their advice to epub upload, which always does have file per new pagebreak. Though oddly it had worked for a year.

The KK (aka K3) does support KF8.

Quoth · 12-14-2022, 03:21 PM

There are earlier keyboard models than the KK3. The KK3 wasn't called a Kindle Keyboard at launch
The 2nd Keyboard model

The KK3 came out between DX and DXG. So in one sense the 4th model with a keyboard.

The DXG is the last model without an upgrade to KF8/azw3.

The KK3 with last FW does indeed to KF8/azw3 well, but on original FW it didn't support it. I don't know which update added the azw3/KF8 and extra fonts. Allegedly the later DXG model is basically a DX with a newer panel and not enough RAM for the KF8/azw format rendering.
