#6 Need help making a .rb for Rocketbook

[Annette Presley]

I have been trying for the past three weeks to make an .rb book for my Rocketbook reader and have been unsuccessful.  I am using rbmake and the command line options and have unpacked an ePub file to use the HTML files.
I've tried various options and combinations and even though there are no error messages, when I move the .rb file to my Rocketbook reader, only the first chapter (first HTML file) is visible. Nothing else shows.

I could not get the illustrations included ( error message could not open .jpg) so I am not using the -i option.

The software appears quite wonderful so I am very keen on finding out what I am doing wrong.
Please help.
Thank you.
Annette

Using the -j (join) option should fix things up for you. The rocket ebook expects there to be links to the various pages if the files are separate. Joining them together allows you to page through all the chapters in one file. Just be sure to specify all the html filenames on the command-line, or specify a table-of-contents html file (not an xml file) and the option to follow links: -fyes

As for the images, make sure that the image files are in the right directory relative to where you are building the book. For instance, calibre likes to create an images directory and put IMG tags that reference the images/NAME.png files, so you should build the book from the directory where the book's html files and the images directory exist.

Hi Wayne.
I appreciate your previous assistance.
I am now preparing an REB 1100 for my 6 year old and find that although Calibre shows that all is well in my epub to rb conversion (as shown in the viewer), no illustrations appear on the reader. I've used rbmake to re-write with the -i option, but no luck. Rbmake -iR book name.rb
Any suggestions on how to get the illustrations to the RCA Rocketbook would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Annette
