Header information
When I edit ebooks in Calibre, in some of my books the
header information is not displaying correctly when turning pages in my Kobo Sage. It should display TITLE PAGE, PROLOGUE (1of2), PROLOGUE (2of2), CHAPTER ONE (1of14), CHAPTER ONE (2of14)....... Instead it just always displays COVER, COVER (1of2), COVER (2of2), COVER (1of14), COVER (2of14).... Does anybody know how to fix it. Thanks |

It is not broken
![]() ![]() ![]() The Kobo (for KEPUB) does that. The name is the current 'chapter' (section) and the 1 of 3 is the progress in that section. YOU can set what shows in the devices headers and footers using the Settings:Reading settings found on the More button while on the home screen |

I know about the settings you're talking about. The issue that I'm having is that even though both header and footer are always set the same way on my device, most of my books as I'm turning pages will display the relevant information (PROLOGUE 1of2...) i.e. the page I'm on, while some books will always display COVER (header), no matter what page I'm on. Therefore I must be missing HTML or CSS code on the KEPUB itself.

It might also come from the <title></title> tags in each xhtml page.

This is the content off the whole "toc.ncx" file.
Appreciate your help. Spoiler:

<title></title>
I tried to change title names in each HTML file <title>Prologue</title> <title>Chapter One</title>...... but it didn't work. |

IF you edit the TOC on a book that is already ON the Kobo,
You need to use Kobo Utilities Extended to Update the TOC on the device. (the processing step puts it into the DB) |

I understand that. But if, for whatever stupid reason, the toc is missing, then isn't the <title> a fallback?
Through an oversight, I once failed to create a toc in an epub3 and sideloaded the epub to my Libra2. The onscreen header described by the OP still displayed the correct chapter. Where was that coming from? Not the filenames because they were different. The only matching entries I could find was in the <title> tag. |

And if you delete/merge a section (chapter) and do NOT update the TOC, My Libra2 /Aura2 goes off the end when the next piece is not there. Doing the TOC update fixes that

I get the feeling you are missing the point.
Answer this. Just imagine some crazy, weird world where the toc file is missing. What happens when there is no toc file? Maybe you are right and it does not come from the title tag, but from empirical evidence from my blooper, I think it does. But you keep referring to the toc, but ignoring the question of what happens when there is no toc. |
