Not sure if that's directed at me or the OP?

I know Calibre will create an inline TOC when converting to MOBI format, as long as you can set the correct regex to accurately identify the headings you want included in the TOC. It works most easily with books that are accurately coded (using h1, h2, h3, etc, for titles and headings) and/or that have chapter/section titles that include words such as "chapter", "section", etc. However it's tacked on at the end of the book, which is fine for personal use, but is less than optimal for commercial publication, particularly for non-fiction books, where you will likely want the inline TOC to appear as part of a free sample offered for download, to give the prospective purchaser an accurate and detailed overview of the book's content.
