I'm having trouble converting my epubs (created in IDCS5.5, edited in TextWrangler) to mobi files with Kindlegen. The basic conversion works, but a few things are problematic.

I am interested in learning what adjustments I need to make to the epub file for a clean conversion, rather than working in Sigil or Calibre. Does anyone work like this?

My first main problem is generating a table of contents for the mobi. I have both a Contents page (in its own html file) and a toc.ncx file in the epub. Neither of these becomes the TOC in mobi. Is there a way to adjust the epub so Kindlegen will produce a TOC for Kindle?
