another similar book,

this one has a chapter faile with jsut a map image at start of book, and has a lsit of contributors page at athe abck.

I don't have a toc entry for either of those pages.

so non-kobo devices will , when you select table of contents< shwo only hat is in the toc.

KObo on tablet, so proably "kepub'd" books sent to ereader also, reackon they need somethign for those 2 pages so the file anmes get put into the toc & into the footer instead.

I suppose there is some logic for that, & their design does not cater for awkward folks like me who like to mimimise the actual toc & one have what I think are useful pointers in there. I guess that as the database enties are being added fo the new book , there are fields to be fiilled & something has to go into them
From the books I've looked at, purchased kepubs tend to have a TOC entry for all files. But, not having one doesn't break anything. The footer just has a blank for the name.

so I now wonder, & I may test, what happens with a book that has a very long chapter, which calibre has split into 2 x xhtml files in order to honour the 260k max rule. what will Kobo show as you more onto the 2nd part of hat split chapter ?, and what will it put into the toc /
The "260K max rule" is a recommendation for epubs being handled by the Adobe RMSDK. As I understand it, it was a recommendation to improve performance on older devices with lesser RAM and CPU. I have a 30+ chapter epub that I combined the chapter files into a single 1.5MB file. The epub says 494 pages. This works as both an epub and kepub on my Glo. Both take longer to open than the individual file version. The kepub doesn't seem to have any problems. But, the epub gets very slow towards the end.

And apparently my memory failed me the other day about how the chapters and numbering were handled in the kepub version. For the single file version, the footer works the same as for the file per chapter version. The current chapter name is shown and the page numbering is for the chapter.
