I've made an epub with Indesign. I converted it to a mobi using KindlePreview after a bit of help from this forum everything looks great! I'm ready to upload to Amazon. I manually created a table of contents with hyperlinks at the start of the book and this works fine. But the Go to Table of Contents function is not working.

Searching the internet I've learnt I have to tinker with this myself by creating a html document and adding a 'toc tag?' into my file. I've seen some comments to use Mobipocket creator but they refer to people who are making books with Word. I'm not sure if this would also affect the formatting of my book.

I'm a complete beginner with this but would appreciate any advice or links to a step by step guide. I really don't know where to start. Thanks
