Hi -- We are in the process of upgrading our site to DNN 7.3.4 and upgrading to a responsive skin, so we have it all upgraded on a staging site while still using our old site as the live one website visitors see. We are having a problem with a couple of our online books.  Problems are:

1) The Table of Contents for each of the two books is in a table within an Text/HTML module. Here is one of them:  http://staging.kidstalkaboutgod.org/BibleLessons/KidsColorMeBible/tabid/190/Default.aspx  and here is the other: http://staging.kidstalkaboutgod.org/BibleLessons/KidsColorMeBibleGospelofJohn/tabid/928/Default.aspx. If you want to see what they look like on our live site, for comparison:  http://www.kidstalkaboutgod.net/?TabId=190  and http://www.kidstalkaboutgod.net/Home/KidsColorMeBibleGospelofJohn/tabid/928/Default.aspx.  None of them look perfect, but some are better than others. They looked good when they were created, but now you can see the text wraps randomly (I have tried to force it not to wrap, but I can't get it to change) and sometimes indents or centers, also randomly. WHY does it do this? HOW do I fix it? I'm at the end of my rope and can't think of anything else to try. I looked at the HTML code and I don't see anything different between lines that wrap inappropriately and the normal-looking ones.

2) On the staging site, the blue navigation bar on the left is no longer working. When we change a piece of code as recommended by the skin developer, it fixes the way it looks and functions on a laptop. On a mobile device, it looks better than before, but does not work for navigation.

3) Same type of problem with the blue navigation arrows at the bottom of each page of the book.

4) What is the best way to do an online book? It seems like our old way may not serve us well anymore. We want to have the actual text on the website so that the translation module can translate it into other languages, AND so that search engine spiders can read it, right? We looked at doing flip books on Issuu.com and embedding the code, but realized that none of that text would be searchable or translatable, right?

Without diving too deep into this, the table layout with all of your embedded styles etc is something that with a responsive layout is most likely going to not work out the greatest.

I would recommend starting out by trying to cleanup the HTML a bit, yes it is work, but it will be worth it in the end when you get stability.
