Lining up the pages

I'm totally new to this and needs some pointers. I have a bunch of mobi files that I put onto my Kindle 3. How do I work it so that the pages line up as if I were reading it in a real book? For example, New chapters start on a new page.

In order to do this you're going to have to learn how to edit the book. Calibre is not a book editor. You can enquire in the Mobi forum for guidance about Mobi books. Many folks convert to ePub (ePub forum) and use Sigil (Sigil forum) or other ePub editors to smooth things over then convert back to Mobi. There is also a Workshop forum that may be of help.

Good Reading.
