{shrug}. You know, some folks in my line of work are really good at promotion. Some are good at making books. A rare few (one?) can do both. I'm not good at promotion. Truth be told, I'm probably not a steely-eyed ePUB pilot any longer, either, as the vast bulk of what I do these days is answering emails and doing admin tasks.

I found Guido's blog posting about how to make properly formatted eBooks to be full of nonsense. He gives some rather bad advise. And his formatting is not all that good given his sample. He has a lot of output and hardly any of it is useful. He reminds me of a magician that uses a lot of smoke and mirrors.

Yeah. I wondered if perhaps the tech guy MEANT that the newer devices navigate by the NCX, rather than requiring the toc.html (in order to build an NCX, etc.). The irony is, the answer is almost 180 degrees wrong.

I would not say 180 degrees of wrong. I would say 360 degrees of wrong. The tech guy has no idea about making eBooks. He should have passed on the message to someone who does to get the correct answer.
