On the Sony PRS-350, tables of contents for periodicals with only one section behave strangely. Each article shows up as an entry in the main TOC. You'd expect these entries to take you to the articles. Instead, they bring you to a submenu with only one entry. These submenu entries take you to the articles.

Other than forcing an extra click, this format obscures part of the article title in the main TOC (because some space is used to indicate that the entry has a submenu). I think it may only be an issue on some readers, because affected tables of contents behave as expected in Calibre's epub reader.

Some affected recipes are the built-in recipes for New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, and ScienceDaily. I think what sets these recipes apart is that they only have one section, but I'm not sure. Maybe there's something I can add to recipes to change this? Or maybe I can adjust some epub creation setting?
