Magazine issues and eink devices

I have noticed some differences between the .mobi and the .epub files while looking at them with the built in reader within Calibre.  I have noticed if I click on certain links in the table of contents in the .mobi version they do nothing when the other links jump to the proper pages. This only happens on a few links. I looked at the code for these links and the anchor tags are the same as all the links.  This only happen when viewing the .mobi file.  They work as expected when viewing the .epub file.   I have made another change to both files and have uploaded them.

If this does not work, I am really at a loss for ideas. The only other thought that it could be is something is different with the version of Calibre.

That's done it  
The .mobi version now works fine on my Kindle.
Have to wait for someone else to check the .epub version though.

Thanks,
Russell.

I'd like to take this moment to thank everyone who is helping YouCanToo tweak this process to produce eBook file versions of the magazine that work properly across as many different eBook platforms as possible.

THANK YOU!

Wow, that is the best news, I have heard.

Could not open the revision3 file, so I got a copy from the magazine site (23-March-2013 9:42)
While paging through the file I still get thrown back to page 3.
If I open the table of contents I see 3 times an unnamed item. I see a here item.  There is also twice a navigation point 20.

Some links work. Many just jump to page2 though the noc files points to the correct id. See below.

I could not fix this. So I opened the file in Sigil and put a split marker before each item starting with 'editorial. That only takes a few minuted and then I had Sigil apply the split. That action generates a html file for each item. The original file is kept as first page with the list of items. I also generated a new toc.ncx file in Sigil only using <h3> tags as items and then started browsing the (now 85 in stead of 62 pages) file on the EntourageEdge. At page 82 ....... my battery was empty (it was already low when I started this evening) .
So I hooked it on to the power cable and gave it another shot.
Each item starts on a fresh page. I noticed a blank page at the end of some items but paging went ok without being thrown back at page 2 or 3. The toc items also worked. I seems that my device likes this setup of each item as a chapter best.

Here is a public link to the file amended via Sigil.

Can you PM me a sample of what you did in Sigil?
