The Kindle for Android version 8.26.0.100 also shows the three level NCX TOC. I didn't do a screenshot of the The Fire Tablet because it looks the same.
Kindle Oasis version 5.12.3 and Kindle for iOS version 6.26 both show only two NCX TOC levels for the same book. |
Yupperdoodle, this is what we see and I've got those starting to pile up too. And do we have books with three levels? Oh, you betcha your bippy we do. Probably...a thousand, or more? Sh**T!!!

It's the TOC.html and the K4PC/Mac apps that are causing the issues.

The only workaround that I can think of is to use a link to a search for their page, rather than a link to their page. E.g., www.booknook.biz, which goes to google searching for that web page. |
I'm actually pondering what it would take to just sent up a SANE link-archiving operation. I mean...who sets up a "commercial" link archiving op, and forces you to sit through a seminar, before they'll let you set up an account, even??? I mean...you search ALL over Archive-it.org, and there is not a single post, FAQ, nothing, that explains what you have to do, to get a login. What to do once you have one, sure. But to GET one? I couldn't believe it.
