The Kindle 2 appears to have support for a fairly new feature of Mobipocket format which allows for at least a single level of real metadata TOC via additional Palm DB records in the Mobipocket file. I noted that mobigen would produce these records if provided OPF with an NCX TOC, but I as nothing seemed to use them in any useful way (Mobipocket Desktop just uses them to show what "chapter" you're currently in) I didn't look into them much further.

Anyway, what is it that isn't working? Is the file not displaying at all, or is the TOC just not displaying as expected?
