My apologies for posting this in the wrong place.

I appreciate the suggestion. The author is planning to offer this book only on Kindle. I'm using a Mac, so I have no alternatives (I don't think) for converting to mobi except Calibre.

For all my conversions to both epub and mobi I've been using doc>filtered htm>Calibre>epub and then again using the original doc for conversion to mobi. I did it this way under the novice uninformed assumption that it would be better than doc>htm>epub>mobi (or vice versa).

I recently began using Sigil for an epub uploaded to iTunes.

To implement your suggestion, if I converted this source .doc to epub with Sigil and then to mobi with Calibre, are there advantages to this workflow other than using Sigil to help correct the TOC issue?

Thanks for your expertise.
