location of a first page

Hi,

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

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?

Reflowing EPUB or Fixed Format EPUB?

I am making Reflowable EPUB.

Reflowable EPUBs (like this one I'm showing from the Books app in iOS) don't have fixed page numbers. If shown, they will vary because can choose different relative size or font for viewing the text. In Books, the controls for size and font are shown at the upper right.

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.
