MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Kindle Touch: "Sections & Articles" index page missing on newspapers/magazines

theseamonkey · 11-18-2011, 04:14 PM

On previous versions of the Kindle (including the Kindle 4 Basic), newspapers and magazines fetched by Calibre and sent to the device would include the nicely organized index page with sections on the left and articles within the selected category on the right. While reading, there was also always the option at the bottom of each page to return to this "Sections & Articles" index.

On the Kindle Touch, these features have disappeared from all magazines and newspapers fetched by Calibre. Instead, the only option is to choose "Table of Contents" from the Go To menu to view the much uglier and less useful linear table of contents.

Is there any way to bring back the properly formatted "Sections & Articles" index? Does the Calibre code need to be tweaked to format magazines and newspapers to work with the Kindle Touch? Or has Amazon blocked this functionality in the new touch-enabled devices?

Looking forward to the insight anyone can offer. Thanks!
