Thanks I do get confused since I'm always going back and forth between the two formats. I'll take a look at this documentation. But it seems to be working with the guide modifications I mentioned above. Thanks, Phyllis

So, after a couple of weeks (since 8.11) of beating my head agains the wall, your solution worked for me, DD, and I would swear that it's something I've tried before. I've now successfully added the correct "start" position to three books.
I swear I tried that before... /muttering under breath..... Thanks, DD, for this and for so much else ![]() |

I figured it out - I got bitten by the original epub being created/saved when I did an epub->epub conversion - I didn't realize that it was going to become the source file for any epub conversions and I was editing the newer epub file. I didn't figure this out until I had deleted an entire section from the epub file, but when I did the epub->mobi conversion, the section reappeared

I've tried <guide> <reference type="other.start" title="Start here" href="Coverpage.html" /> </guide> in the content.opf file of an ePub file that I'm working on now - the 'other.start' is because the Flightcrew ePubchecker said that 'start' is not an acceptable reference type in the OPF standards. When I convert the book to mobi with the latest version of calibre it still doesn't open at the cover page. What am I doing wrong? |

I've just tested <guide> <reference type=".start" title="Start here" href="Coverpage.html" /> </guide> on two ePub to mobi conversions, and both mobi versions open on the front page. I guess only time will tell whether Amazon will object to having mobi versions which open on the cover page sold through them. Last edited by AlexBell; 08-10-2011 at 02:11 AM. Reason: Update |
