Hi,

thanks for all the input! I have now managed to make a simple TOC through k2pdfopt.

I extracted another books TOC and used it as a template. Then I copied my book table of content pages to a text document, compared the pdf document pages with the book page numbers, and adjusted the chapter page numbers according to this offset.

This worked well as to understand how it can be done, and gave me a basic way to navigate the book on my e-reader. Since I do not have a workflow it was also very time consuming.

If there is a tutorial or guide on a good workflow for making a toc it would be great to read it.

I do not think hyperlinking will work well on my cybook hd frontlight.

I am reading and converting from many sources: djvu, epub, pdf, and web content.

Thanks!
