However, the TOC is a 2-level nested structure. And, coincidentally the first six chapters mentioned in the quote are all sub-entries under the first main entry.

So, does anyone know whether for some reason iBooks will not support nested TOCs, or has our friend from Cupertino been smokin' some more of them funny cigarettes?

BTW I searched MR and consulted Elizabeth Castro's book but found nothing relevant.

Thanks in advance!
Who is the lame one at Apple that wrote that message?
It is Past chapter Six so the EPUB gets PASSED.
