I am currently creating azw3-eBooks from a certain Harry-Potter-Fanfiction, so I can read it on my Kindle 4 instead in a webbrowser.

I have more or less no knowledge of html at all, but I have some basic programming knowledge, so I usually understand such structures with little explanation. I started my learning by correcting and improving existing ebooks.

So far it's all fine and shiny, I have already created two long ebooks with more than 20 chapters each. I'm getting along with the styles and so on.

But I am having problems with the toc. I have created separated files for each chapter, and used the option to create the TOC from the files.

The TOC looks fine in the editor and in the calibre-viewer, too. All links are working there.

But when I load any of these eBooks on my kindle 4, the TOC is neither shown in the "go to"-section, nor can I jump forward or backward from chapter to chapter.

Only the Title-Page and the first chapter can be accessed by pressing "left" and "right".

Any ideas why the TOC is not recognized by the kindle?
