Hello,

New at creating e-books.
Windows 7 64bit; Sigil 1.5.1

I am having a lot of problems creating e-books and would appreciate any help you-all can offer.

The first problem is in setting up the front matter I want certain information together on one page (e.g., copyright information, dedication and title page). I arrange the text so that it appears correctly in Sigil and Calibre but when I open the book in Kindle or Kobo, these pages do not fit on one page but are rolled over into partial pages. No good.

So the work-around I devised was to create images of these pages and put them into .html files. Two are constant, two change for each new volume of a series. This works just fine except that opening the book in Calibre there are now blank pages following each of these pages.

So the question is: How can I prevent these blank pages from showing up and/or how do I delete them?

This is not a Sigil topic. Please ask basic epub questions in the epub forum not here.

I have moved your post to the correct forum.

The e-mail notification for the original post (placed in the Sigil forum) said to post it in the General forum. Not finding it in Sigil to delete or move, I posted a new version in the General Forum.

I am not so far into this that I cannot remember my today's posts.

The result is that my latest post was deleted and the moved post is irrelevant.

Please delete this thread, not the new thread with similar title. Thank you.

'Moved' is not a great subject to attract the help I seek.
