Reply To: Kindle TOC Missing

Hi Mark.

I can provide a partial follow-up to the conversation.

I exported my Kindle book to ePub, opened it in Sigil, and right-clicked to identify the TOC, Text (location where to begin), and Cover. The navigational TOC appeared just fine in Sigil.

I ran the .epub through the Kindle Previewer, which converted it to .mobi. uploaded it to Amazon, and about 7-10 days later the latest copy automatically refreshed itself onto my reading device.

No navigational toc was available. I have checked this on my phone, iPad3, Kindle’s browser reader, and Kindle’s desktop app (I’m running Windows 8 Pro 64x). No navigational toc at all.

The small drop-down toc works just fine, but it only links to the cover, the plain old html page toc, the beginning (Sigil calls that the Text), and then the Book Extras (which is an automatic addition by Amazon).

A true navigational toc would be a very nice feature to have enabled in the book, but at this moment, I still do not know how to create it.
