To verify my understanding.

- clickable ToC = is a text element within EPUB (e.g. 06_Contents.xhtml) -- a page in the book -- correct?

- device ToC = NCX ToC (this can be built and edit using Sigil feature, Tools/Table of Contents/Edit ToC (screenshot)-- correct?



The "Contents" is not showing in device ToC for iBooks, although the contents has been included in NCX
Code:
   <navPoint id="navPoint-5" playOrder="5">
      <navLabel>
        <text>Contents</text>
      </navLabel>
      <content src="Text/07_Contents1.xhtml"/>
    </navPoint>

Why Important to me?
I wish to navigate to clickable ToC from the device ToC. Why? Because the clickable ToC gives me context of entire book.I can see the entire book on typically 2 page spread and easier for me to digest. I click on a link in the clickable TOC, check someone out and then click heading and it goes back to my clickable TOC. The epub is techncial content.

In ADE - the Contents Page is showing on device ToC. But in iBooks the Contents Page is not showing. (iBooks on Mac or iBooks on iPAD)

The device ToC I use for navigation for reading new sections as it suits, I step go there.

I hope this makes sense.
