My mobi compile opens on the last page of the TOC, rather than the first page of the novel. Anybody know how to select the page an ebook opens up on?
Page 391 of the user manual:
Book begins after front matter For this feature to work, the Front Matter feature must be enabled (subsection 24.7.3). When active, the book will initially open at the first section that follows the material added as front matter. This can be useful if the front matter you are inserting with the feature is not essential for the reader to see, and you wish for them to start right at chapter one. Not all reader devices or software will comply with this setting. When unchecked, the book will open at the start of the entire book, and so is thus useful when the front matter contains text that is important for the reader to go through, such as a preface.
[b]You can also manually supply a starting point by typing in the placeholder, <$ebook_start> into the section you wish the reader to start at. The placeholder will be ignored if this checkbox is active.
This feature is only available for Kindle Mobi output. The ePub format does not contain any capability for setting where the reader should begin when they first open the book on their device.[/b]
