What, precisely, is your process? You have an ePUB3, with a Nav and with an NCX and then...?

I use the Kindlegen plugin in Sigil.
Uses my install of Previewer which is 2.94.
So that may be out of date. I'm using WinXP so later versions may not be compatible.
For my own use and initial testing, I set it to strip the mobi to just AZW.
When submitting a file to Amazon, I'll make a joint mobi.
There is one publisher I need to make ePub3 for, since they also want to use Apple (i)Books, and I have found that ePub2 has some hassles. E.g., the TOC does not update if you load a new version.
I do the book first in ePub2, then convert to ePub3. I thought that since I have to make ePub3, I could just do all the work in that format and not have to export to ePub3 every time I wanted to share a version.
I found that if I used the ePub3 to convert to Kindle format (either dual or AZW) that the NAV page showed up. If I tried to hide it, it converts with no warnings, but when I loaded it on my PW3, paging to the end caused a crash.

I know. I do check the joint file before submitting. The KF7 version looks mediocre, but as long as it's valid, that's fine for this job.
