Okay. Well, on my end I've contacted GooglePlay. The cst. service rep. I was working with gave me the information from the developers, and I've given him a few suggestions made by you to pass on. Hopefully they'll get on the ball and do things in a more standardized way. If not, then maybe Atlantis ...

I tried to upload a sample epub that I created from one of my toy book volumes. I didn't have as many page breaks in this volume, but I still had different spacing throughout and Google Play seemed to pick it up. I'm pretty sure I did this with Calibre since it is dated January 2014 in the file ...

Yowza. I didn't realize that much would be involved. I have other books with multiple spacing differences on Google Play that I created with Calibre and they don't seem to have those spacing issues. If the Atlantis developers *did* decide to include this additional code for Google Play, would it ...

The good thing about Google is that their updates happen fast. I just checked the second file you sent me and that fixed things perfectly. Every bit of text is aligned in the sample like it's supposed to be. What did you do? And is this something that needs to be fixed via my document, or is this ...

Nope! Well, somewhat. The title is centered, but the word by, author, and the copyright statement is left justified.

As I scroll through the submitted sample epub, the words License Notes, All Ebook Editions, and Author Note are all left justified *but* the paragraph right below each of those words ...

As a side note (Although I seriously do not understand HTML so this wouldn't have helped me anyway) Google recently sent me the following. Also, as for what they told me, I'm not sure if there's something that can be done within the Atlantis programming code to help with the issue of translating ...

I just came across that option right before you wrote that, actually!

Anyway, thanks for all of your help! I learned quite a bit!

Ah--I was trying to emulate what you did in my original document, and I think I forgot to do the bold centered text style. That's probably what was preventing me from doing it. Looks like you made a custom style. Anyway, I'll try to mess around with that a bit more. That's probably the culprit ...

Can't believe I didn't notice this before....but in the Google Play previewer for this file the only thing it's allowing to be centered are the headings (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.)

Just thought I'd send an update. Even though I tried your edits to an extent the Google Previewer is still giving me issues when it comes to what I had centered in my document. Yet when viewed through the Kindle Previewer everything works fine. (This also has me wondering what my document looks like ...

I actually have an idea I'm going to try. I'm going to re-save my document as an Epub, but when it gives me the option to select a picture for the cover, say none. Then I'm going to upload it to Google Play and see if it does the same thing. Just curious....

Got it.

Hmm...I just noticed something when I was looking at your revision. I tried to open your revised document once saved as an Epub via the Kindle Previewer and that took me directly to the introduction as well as opposed to starting off at the title page or cover. Why does it do that? Are ...

Thanks for the information as well as the revision for me to look at.

I do know that when viewed through the Nook viewer and the Kindle previewers, they do generally seem to take notice of my page breaks and don't seem to mess up any of my formatting. So it's weird how the Google previewer does ...

I have some additional info. to include. I have noticed, with that title in the Google Previewer, that A. Before page 1 there's some things that are listed as i., ii., iii., iv., and v. where the cover picture, table of contents, and disclaimers are and.... when it first opens, B: It automatically ...

PS--Just opened the Epub via Kindle Previewer and, like Adobe Digital Editions, it displayed perfectly. Centering was where it was supposed to be, no blank pages, etc. So, methinks something with Epubs created through Atlantis aren't playing nice with Google Play. For the life of me I just can't ...
