What am I missing?
@Albert Hart - what did the author use to 'write' the book, most use a WP or DTP tool.

If you go back to that format (e.g. MS Word .doc(x), OOo Writer .odt, Quark .qxd/p etc) you can paginate and layout as you want it to appear on paper, as well as create TOC's etc, then export in a form suitable for the book printer. The book printers I've used have always wanted postscript or PDF.

If all you have is the MOBI/AZW then:

If its a simple text (as in a novel), then maybe the simplest thing would be convert to RTF and then use a Word Processor.

However, if its complex, i.e. lots of pictures, tables, graphics etc, then you could possibly use a PDF Editor like Acrobat or Nitro to do the pagination and TOC creation etc.
