Create Newspaper TOC

plantoschka · 09-09-2010, 12:57 PM

Hi,

i got a daily suscription to a newspaper here in Germany.

It's in epub Format and has a TOC with entries to alle articles.
I would love to create a .mobi that looks like a Newspaper or Magazine from the KindleStore (example: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/kindle...ction-list.png), where you get this nice TOC View and can choose which article you want to reader and don't have to jump from article to article.

Is this possible ?

They also offer a .mobi file but it doesn't support the TOC Navigation :-(

Here is an Example of the epub file. (It's a german Newspaper)
It's an official test edition.

Thanks

TOCs are perfectly possible in Mobi format. They just have to create them.

Have you tried Calibre (MR forum and website)? Maybe the newspaper you subscribe to has a recipe in the German Periodicals section (they will have TOCs). If not, you could try creating your own free newspaper from RSS feeds.

See the list pictured below.
