And with a mobi that has a two-level ncx, the script builds a one-level (flat ncx file)... ignoring the parent level if an entry has a parent.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's off by one, quite the contrary I don't expect the code to be correct at this stage
But for now I couldn't find a book to reproduce the problem, that's pretty weird, i'll look into it further...

I could be completely mistaken about all that, though... I'll have to do some testing.

As far as I know I completely agree and all that makes multi-level NCX pretty useless for now.
But anyway kindlegen does produce this kind of file and my goal with this code was to extract as much from the mobi as possible, so that you can re-compile the files from mobiunpack into an as-identical-as-possible new mobi...
