This validates, and works in Kindle (with no lost H tags!). Thanks all for your help.

I assumed Kindle would have a similar navigational TOC to iBooks (the one accessed with the little icon at the top of the page). From what I understand now, the Kindle device doesn't have that function, and must have a TOC page within the text. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What threw me, was that in the Kindle app for iPad - if I use the 'Go to' icon - a submenu opens and an option for 'Table of Contents' is greyed out with a note "Not available for this title".
As I have a linked TOC page at the front of the book, perhaps I am providing all that is needed. What you are describing in the progress bar sounds helpful. i wonder why Kindlegen isn't generating this from the original epub toc.ncx |
the mobi needs and inline (html) table of contents in addition to the ncx file, the ncx file on the kindle is only used for the 5 way controller and to display the chapter points at the bottom.
you need to have the inline table of contents and for it to link correctly you need to add
<guide>
<reference type="toc" title="Table of Contents" href="filename.html#bookmark"/>
</guide>
in your opf file, if not the option to jump to the table of contents will be greyed out.
