I've never tried uploading through Mobipocket. I can only guess that they are insisting on people using their DRM (urgh). IMO DRM only troubles the people who are actually willing to pay for your books. Whether there's a way to publish through Mobipocket without using DRM I don't know.

The no text encoding sounds easy - your source files haven't specified what text encoding they use, and you have specified explicitly in the appropriate field in the Mobipocket Creator program either. Do one or the other (i.e. specify whether the text source is in Windows Latin-1, Mac Roman or UTF-8)

The table of contents error sounds like you're specified your own table of contents, but that one of the links in it is broken in some way.

For Mobipocket, I've found the best way to do a table of contents is to get my source text into basic HTML, with the sections/chapters marked up with header (H1,H2,...etc) and then get Mobipocket Creator to create the TOC for me. I can always then tweka the html in the new table of contents file, but I can be sure the links are all correct.

One that says "Error(prcgen): Hyperlink not resolved in toc: (and then the string to my files)" and another "Error(prcgen): The table of content could not be built."

Any ideas?
