I don't think I'll report a bug. As you said, whoever created these books deserves a slap. It's just a shame that this seems to be happening with a not insignificant proportion of Amazon books. I think Hitch may be on to something, in that it could be exclusively or at least mostly happening with some self-published titles with the text in one html file, which he associates, no doubt correctly, with the original book source being a Word file.

The Go To menu is clearly a puzzle. It seems to me that it must either not in fact use the toc.ncx in any case, or somehow be able to identify that the toc.ncx contains invalid links. Or perhaps it only uses a toc.html and defaults to this other method (perhaps the divs with the page breaks) as a final fallback if there is no toc.html. I suppose this could be tested relatively easily by anyone curious enough. I don't know if I am at this stage.

I usually read Kindle Unlimited titles on my Paperwhite 2 and most others on my H2O. I have, however, recently acquired a Huwaei Ascend Mate 7 Android Mobile with a 6 inch screen, which I find I am using quite often when out of the house in preference to carrying a separate ereader. The Kindle App on this phone works well. However, Moon Reader is excellent for not only reading but for text to speech, using Ivona Nicole, which I do like to use from time to time. Moon Reader also works well with calibre2opds. I am mainly inconvenienced by this TOC problem at the moment when the TOC links fail to work on my H2O, or where Moon Reader fails to work when I want a text to speech interlude.
