I'm using kindlegen. I just wanna test on my devices before upload to KDP.


This is the GO TO menu on Paperwhite:
See, here's the thing, which nobody wants to admit. NOBODY can tell you which of those was made with an NCX, or an HTML TOC. Seriously. Sometimes, the GoTo seems to be (correctly, IMHO) the NCX; sometimes, it's apparently made from the toc.html. I have found little or no rhyme or reason, as to which displays, from the GoTo, on a given book. I know that Notjohn frequently claims that his Fire displays the NCX--but I cannot say that with surety, at all. It seems just as likely to display the GoTo from a rendered (renderized! I actually like that word, and may steal it) toc.html as an NCX. The "old days" when you could be sure of such a thing--those are gone. Now, Amazon sort of "helps" everyone (god help me), by doing whatever they damn well please.

LOL, sorry about the "renderize", my english is really stupid. But I really don't think I'm "stretching html beyond all reasonable limits". It's just HTML. Here, from epub 3.0.1 specs:
Your English is fine. NJ thought he was being funny. Don't apologize. While "renderize" is a bit of a stretch for English, we all knew what you meant, and it was fine.

Thanks for your reply!
Ah, (Your next post) about HTML5. Just to sate my curiosity, do you mind sharing what HTML5 and advanced selectors you're using? We tend at my shop to stick largely with 2, for distribution purposes, of course, but I'm always interested in what 3 is being used for, AND how it translates, so to speak, to the Kindleverse.

Yes, you should be able to use the NAV, but you may not find that it works better than the Guide with the issues you're having now. I'd certainly try it, though.
