Hi all,

I have a handful of epub's that I am converting to MOBI.

While a TOC is generated that can be read in the Calibre viewer and is also viewable and works on the kindle (even though the TOC is at the end of the book), I do not get chapter markers on the kindle's progress bar.

Based on the convert log, it looks like there is some issue with the TOC, but no idea what the message means and if this could be causing the marker issue.

Any thoughts?
