There are lots of PD books available on Amazon and their quality varies widely. What book did you download?

There are two types of Kindle TOCs: HTML TOCs and NCX TOCs. Theoretically, Kindle books should have both types of TOCs, but some older books only have HTML TOCs, which cannot be automatically converted to NCX TOCs, which are required for ePubs.
However, Calibre can automatically generate NCX TOCs if you add the correct XPath expressions (
Preferences > Common Options > Table of Content).
(In order to use this option you'll need to find out to the HTML code used for headings.)
