BY the way, to the OP - the latest version of Calibre (0.7.27) has a feature to convert TO html (from anything). If you want to get a basic TOC, you might just steal the main framework from the generated html and just change some links programmatically (or by hand).

Yes, thrawn_aj:
I know that Calibre can and does generate an html toc when you convert from ePUB to mobi; but that first-generation mobi isn't saleable on Amazon, as Calibre's mobi's don't leave enough room in the headers for K4PC's second layer of encryption. And the html that Calibre generates is fine, but it is rather crowded with Calibre styles. It could be used, though, no two ways about it.
As I said somewhere--in this thread?--we're putting together a clip in-house to convert toc.ncx to an html toc w/appropriate entries in the spine and guide to facilitate clean conversion w/o all the CSS flattening. (Hopefully. ;-))
