Mobipocket pageturn problem

rpink · 11-06-2007, 04:58 PM

Sometimes i need several trys before a page turn occures and sometimes it will even jump back 3 or 4 sites.

The book i am reading has some ugly special chars in it so maybay that is the reason?
Has anybody similar expirences ?

cheers

That could do it. I've had problems when trying to read ebooks with what look like, when examined with a hex editor, command strings and the like. Was this a book purchased from Fictionwise or Mobipocket? The only time I've experienced this is when I've 'created' a mobi file from another, shall we say, 'uniquely formatted' file.

Ok, thats the answer i was hoping for

Yes, the book was converted since i could not get it in a "readable" version

I will switch back to iLiad (for this book) and get myself "Natural Ordermage" to test the bookeen

cheers

I don't know the exact tags supported off hand, but Mobipocket does use a subset of HTML and adds a few of its own tags. Although correct behavior would be to ignore anything that it doesn't understand, it is possible that you just need to clean up your source a bit for it to display correctly.

Here is a link to the custom tags. The links on the left should get you a list of the other supported tags.

The file is plain txt (after i deleted the special chars). But after reading the manual ( i always think i am beyond it ;-) i noticed that i should do page turns with right key, not like i used to do with the down key. So i tryed it for a couple of days and if i am using the right key it works smooth.
So ones again "DAU" (DE) or "RTFM" (EN) alert.
Thx for the suggestions
