No problem.

The Pie loves to show off.

The Pie will then format your book according to Amazon's requirements, complete with the Amazon-required Table of Contents and the Amazon-required TOC.NCX.

You don't have to know a thing about HTML, or anything at all about what the Kindle will or won't accept, or how to make your book look professional.
The Pie takes care of it all.

      Hello two cents,

      I don't use Open Office, but maybe this is the same as MS Word.

      In MS Word, put all your page breaks into your Styles.

      For example, format all your Chapter Heads (usually Heading 1) to have a "page break before".

      and...

      Create an Image tag that will center a full size image and put a page break before it.

      If you don't do that, you will get unexpected page breaks, which is probably what is happening to you.
