Re: [docbook-apps] ePub 3 weird results when converting to mobi

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Hi Carlos,

I'm not sure what can be done to fix these warnings. My guess is that they are places where kindlegen is unhappy with HTML5 constructs, but that's just a guess.

I have seen similar warnings with ePub files generated by the epub3 stylesheets. However, I've had no problems with the .mobi files generated, even with these warning messages. In fact, they have looked clean on kindles and the kindle emulators, and they have been successfully uploaded to Amazon, which does some of its own checking.

So, I haven't let them stop me, though I'd be much happier if I didn't get them:-).

Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton
