Amazon has recently released an update to their "Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines" -- version 2013.1 (can be downloaded here) They have not, however, released new samples that reflect their new guidelines. (Old samples still here.)

In the new guidelines they changed how they want the embedded cover done in the OPF file (3.2). In the middle of giving two methods, they say the below:

This syntax is part of IDPF 3.0 standard and described at http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/epub30-...roperty-values.

So I'm guessing this means that package info and dc-metadata are changed in the OPF from the previous (see below):

<package unique-identifier="uid" xmlns:opf="http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" xmlns:asd="http://www.idpf.org/asdfaf">
	<metadata>
		<dc-metadata  xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core" xmlns:oebpackage="http://openebook.org/namespaces/oeb-package/1.0/">

Is my guess correct?

Does 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 mean that the below is eliminated from the OPF?

<x-metadata>
			<EmbeddedCover>images/cover.jpg</EmbeddedCover>
			</x-metadata>

Does anyone have a sample of an OPF file according to Amazon's new guidelines?

I also have questions about the updated TOC.

What is a "logical TOC"?

In 3.3.1.2, it says the below:

NCX is part of the IDPF 2.0 specification and is described at http://www.niso.org/workrooms/daisy/...-2005.html#NCX

I'm guessing that doctype info, etc. has changed. Does anyone have a sample of an toc.ncx file according to Amazon's new guidelines?

I don't understand 3.4 "landmarks nav Elements Guidelines" at all. What are they for? Do you have to use them?
