[Old Thread] Create just one TOC
Hello. I've searched for a solution to no avail. I have edit the book in microsoft word and created a Table of Contents and saved as epub. In Calibre, I convert to mobi and I get two TOC though the one autogenerated by Calibre is the one that gets linked to when I select Table of Contents from my kindle menu. Ok, I then uncheck the Do Not Add TOC to book or Force use of autogenerated TOC, and though it didn't produce one, I was unable to find a link to my TOC through the kindle menu.
What I want is, how can I link to a particular location in my document and make that location as the start of my TOC. Like when using Mobipocket creator, I can simply add guide item and link to any location through a bookmark. Thank you. |

Well, he's right. If someone had a helpful idea, there would be answers to your post already. Getting impatient after only a day is a little rude. I've never seen posts on here getting ignored just because. Also, if you'd looked at the thread statistics, you'd seen that you have 80 views already, so plenty of people have seen this without having a good idea.

Personally (since I have no clue about creating Mobi books) I would use Sigil to edit the ePub TOC to my liking then convert that epub to Mobi and forget about my link page. I have yet to buy a book from Amazon that had a inline TOC at the beginning of the book. Of course if I wanted to find out how to link to a TOC I created for a Mobi book I would probably ask the question in the Mobi forum where people who create Mobi books would presumably have the expertise to help you. |

The most usual reason for a lack of answers in these forums is because no-one knows how to do what you're asking for (and it's generally regarded as rather unhelpful to post a reply that simply says "Sorry, I don't know"). Or because they're unsure, and are waiting to see if someone else who does know posts an answer. Or because the person who does know hasn't yet seen your post.

A Word table of contents is an inline page of links to other parts of the document. An EPUB table of contents is generated by the EPUB reader from the content coded in the NCX file. A MOBI/Kindle table of contents is an inline set of links to other parts of the book coded into the HTML content of the book, with a guide item pointer to the location of that inline set of links which the MOBI reader uses to enable the user to jump to that list of links from anywhere else in the book. The fact that they are provided in different formats doesn't make any one format more valid than another as a table of contents. Each is appropriate to its own format, and each is a table of contents. Quote:

I see the only point I had on target was my first statement. I'm glad someone popped around that had a clue. |
