I'm working on this. However, after several days of effort I must say this is an extremely difficult problem. I suspect Amazon is formatting periodicals in a way that is not MOBI-compliant, that is they have introduced a wrinkle that the Kindle depends on for the "Sections & Articles" view and the BACK button to work correctly, but that is not necessary for a fully MOBI-compliant reader to work properly.

Note to Kovid: I emailed Marco about how he does his Kindle formatting for Instapaper, and he wouldn't tell me, claiming he didn't want to "irritate Amazon." If he is using kindlegen, I'd be interested in how he is getting it to generate periodical fomats--I haven't been able to figure out how to make it do that. Any clues?
