Reply To: Kindle TOC Missing

Hi Mark.

This weekend I just published a 390-page Kindle book created with InDesign, and even after passing all of the pre-publishing tests, have experienced the same problem you report. So, I began to re-watch the same Anne Marie’s Lynda.com course you reference…

Anne Marie did not mention why Calibre formatting was not accepted by most ebook retailers, but I can make a guess based on experience: “Alf” provides a free DRM Removal hack that can be plugged-in to Calibre. That hack allows any DRM protected book to be opened, and even saved-as something completely different, including RTF. If Calibre formatted books are not accepted by book retailers, then the ease of hacking protected content is probably why.
