39 Chapter Limit???
Sat, 02/28/2009 - 07:57 — ed
Just want to say that I love this program. Reading books on the iPod touch is awsome.
Recently I uploaded a book that has 60 chapters and the program only seems to recognize the 1st 39.
Has this been reported by any one else?
This book has no DRM and was ceated with MobiPocket.
Thanks

We finally figured out the
We finally figured out the problem! It has to do with using words instead of digits in chapter headings (e.g., "chapter thirty-nine" rather than "chapter 39"). If you replace numbers expressed by words with numbers expressed with digits, this problem should be resolved.
We've fixed the bug that is causing this behavior for the next version of Stanza Desktop. Thanks to the user who shared his document with us so that we were able to figure out what was going on.
39 Chapter Limit
I'm glad that you found out the problem with the chapter limit and were able to fix it, but do you know when that new version will become available? It's a real pain in the butt to go through the whole file and rename each chapter and of course, I don't want to accidentally read something important while I'm going through it. Thanks again!

Usually this means there is
Usually this means there is something unusual about one of the chapters that comes after 39. For instance, maybe the formatting for that chapter heading is slightly different. It also might be that the following chapter is much shorter or longer than the previous chapters, which made Stanza think it should stop making chapters. It also might be that one of the chapter numbers is missing.
I would check the formatting of the chapter headings first.
39 chapters
I've run into this in several ebooks, actually, and it's always at the 39 chapter limitation.
Is there a limit of 40 bookmarks? Or something like that?
No, there's no limit. We have
No, there's no limit. We have never been able to reproduce this behavior, so it's hard for us to try to fix this. If you have a file you can share with us that does this, let us know. We'd be delighted to look into it for you.
Sample
I sent my sample to the support email, thanks!
Sample file
I have a sample html file that I created based on one of the ones I was having difficulty with. It exhibits the same behavior. Is there a way I can get you this file? It's a simple html file. I've pulled out the text, and replaced each chapter with the same five paragrphas of Lorem Ipsum (to be sure that it isn't the text itself causing the issue).
If I'm in Stanza Desktop for Windows (v1.0 release 16), and go to the end of my ebook, and choose previous chapter, it jumps back to chapter 39.
I got your email. Thanks
I got your email. Thanks very much! I will look into this shortly.
