There is no NCX any more in Epub 3 (except as fallback for older devices), instead there has to be a table of contents in xhtml-format now.
I often convert short stories without chapters into e-books, so they wouldn't need a TOC — there's a title page, the story and that's it. I try to avoid unnecessary files, if possible.

My first idea was to use the title page as TOC, because what constitutes the story is already there — the title. So i assigned the nav-property to the title (page). It worked, Sigil and Epubcheck found no errors.

Is there any "official" solution for one-text-books like that?
How would you do that?
