Hi,

 

How can I move the first page to the right side of the spine?

I am making Reflowable EPUB.

Page numbering shouldn't matter for a reflowable epub. However, if you are really concerned about it, you would need to make the previous chapters have even page counts by adding a blank page if necessary. This is done by adjusting the pagination settings in the book panel's menu.

David is correct. In Western (left-to-right writing system) publishing, odd-numbered pages are on the right, even-numbered pages are on the left.

Double click on the little triangle above the page icon and change the page number to an odd number (from the even 12).

I am excercising making an EPUB.

 

In the Grimms book panel, Chapter01 finishes in page 11.

So, Chapter02 should start in page 12.

 

I guess the location of the first page in Chapter02 doesn't matter in the context of EPUB?

 

Am I right?
