Anyway this was why I recommended the mobi sub-forum, I figured the experts on this subject would be more likely to answer there.
That's because they (those struggling) don't understand the need for the toc.ncx, primarily, and don't know how to link their html.toc's to the Guide to get a properly-linked TOC. Calibre will do that...but again, Kovid would be the first to say that Calibre is NOT a commercial ebook production tool and the last time I discussed this with him (the Kindle header-space issue for 2nd layer of DRM/encryption), it was at the bottom of his list of "to-do" items.

HTH,
