Awesome! Thanks for the information, everyone. I tried out Harry's tutorial and, of course, it worked like a charm. I had found Harry's tutorial on BD earlier but I apparently missed this one. I'm glad to hear that the TOC from BD does work on the Kindle. I thought I had read something about the Kindle not reading it. Maybe I am thinking about something else. But if the TOC works in BD, why use Mobi Creator at all? I don't really understand what Mobi Creator adds to the book that you wouldn't get with just generating a prc file in BD.

I can't wait to try out the RSS feeds on my Kindle. It looks a lot easier and more flexible than libprs, in which you need to know python if you want to create custom feeds.

Again: me = not a coder.

I figured the "GPS" feature wouldn't be all that great but I'm still interested in trying it.

Thanks again for all the info.
