Table of contents and related spine links incorrect

The two links described below work correctly in the Sigil editor but don't work in the pc kindle reader.

1) In the Table of Contents, the top link, "Cover", is not clickable.

2) In the "Spine" navigation panel in the Kindle, the second link, "Contents", is not clickable.

I've attached Sigil file and mobi file generated by kindlegen. I'd be grateful for any help.


Here is the pasted code for TOC.xhtml, content.opf and the toc.ncx pages:

That is not a (normal) Sigil generated NCX

there is no src lines for many items in the NCX


FWIW the HTML TOC is generated FROM the NCX, not the book.

I don't think I have touched the NCX. Is there a way to fix it?

I've just regenerated the NXC and HTML table of contents in Sigil via the tools menu. They don't look like they've changed. Here's the TOC.NCX

Forget what I said
I NOW see the line <content src="Text/cover.xhtml"/>

The built in TOC (NCX) should work

I validated, saved and did kindlegen again. No change... The two links described below work correctly in the Sigil editor but don't work in the pc kindle reader.

1) In the Table of Contents, the top link, "Cover", is not clickable.

2) In the "Spine" navigation panel in the Kindle, the second link, "Contents", is not clickable.

This is just me, and I no longer use a Kindle but, back when I used my Kindle 3, I always got my ebooks looking and working the way I wanted and then performed the final conversion to mobi with Calibre. I just found the results were much better from Calibre when compared to the results from Kindlegen. Of course, that was just me and that was a couple of years ago. Still, even though I have Nook HD+, my wife has a Kindle Fire HD and she's always had good luck with converting from epub to azw with Calibre. You may want to give it a try and compare the results.

That's because the Kindle compiler does not support cover HTML pages. You'll need to delete the cover entry from the NCX and HTML TOCs.

After regenerating both NCX and HTML TOCs in Sigil, the Contents link in the NCX View mode works. If you click the Contents link in the HTML TOC, nothing will happen, because it links to the the same file, which is kind of pointless. You may want to remove it from the HTML TOC.

I regenerated both NCX and HTML TOCs in Sigil as suggested, but now the Contents link is missing completely from the NCX View mode and the toc.ncx file! The only way I can get it back get is by adding a manual hidden h1 title into the generated TOC.xhtml file.

Is that correct?

IMHO, the HTML TOC should not be referenced in the NCX TOC, because it's redundant for ePub readers and Kindle models that support the display of the NCX TOC.
Kindle models and apps that don't support the display of an NCX TOC have dedicated menu options that allows the user to select the HTML TOC via the Go to... menu. (See screen capture.)

The targets for the Go to... menu option need to be defined via Add Semantics in Sigil, which will add guide items to the .opf file. The beginning, AKA SRL (start reading location), needs to be defined as Text, the cover HTML page as Cover and the TOC as Table Of Contents. (The other menu items are automatically handled by the Kindle.)

(BTW, you don't need to delete the cover HTML page; even though KindleGen will ignore the HTML code, it'll still use the referenced image as the cover image.)
