Lost table of contents when converting from EPUB to MOBI

Hi everybody,

I'm a first-time e-book self-publisher. My source content is in a Pages document, on the Macintosh.

When I export my document from Pages to ePub, and open that in iBooks on the iPad, it properly exposes the document's Table of Contents.

When I use Kindle Previewer app to convert the ePub to MOBI, the Previewer (when displaying the resulting document) claims that the document is missing a Table of Contents. (Same thing if I load the document in Kindle on the iPad.)

What is strange, though, is that clicking "NCX View" in the Kindle Previewer results in a screen that *does* contain the table of contents listing, and linked to the correct chapters.

I've Googled, and can't figure out why my TOC is being lost in the translation from ePub to MOBI. If you have any ideas, I would very appreciate your help.

Thanks so much in advance.
