I have two EPUB books that have a perfect metadata TOC ánd a content ToC. When converting these books to MOBI, calibre keeps using the content ToC, even if the "Force use of auto-generated Table of Contents" option is set.

The only way I found to force calibre to use the metadata ToC is by removing the content ToC from the EPUB. I used Sigil for that.
No problem anymore, now that I know the behavior and have a workaround. But it not as described in the Calibre manual: "When the input document has a Table of Contents in its metadata, calibre will just use that."

I couldn't find anything about a content ToC having precedence over a MetaData ToC, so I decided to post.

I'm prepared to report this as a bug, if it is a bug. Then I will include one of the books in the calibre bug tracker.
