Same thing in Kindle. When I pull up "contents" on the left hand side, all of the links work fine. But when the TOC shows up in the main box on the right hand side, there are no links that work. (I'm just using Kindle for PC, so I don't know what an actual Kindle device sees).
Thanks in advance for any help.

As notjohn told you on the KDP forums, you're confusing the NCX with the Table of Contents, which has to be linked via the OPF. Go to Tools--> Table of Contents--> Create HTML Table of Contents and you'll make an HTML TOC which can then be styled in the corresponding Style sheet. If you're using K4PC as your proofing tool, you're being misled, because it's one of the few "devices" or readers that will display the NCX TOC (the logical TOC); most only use the inline TOC (the HTML TOC).
Do NOT use Calibre to make a file for upload to Amazon; there's no need if you have an ePUB. Just drop the completed ePUB, replete with the HTML TOC, onto Kindle Previewer or use the command-line KindleGen and make a mobi.
Let us know here (you'll get better technical assistance here than you EVER will at the KDP) if you get it done.
