I have an epub book I created with Sigil, complete with TOC made using Generate Table of Contents command under Tools.
Works fine, and uploaded to KDP for Kindle book with no problem.

I now want to use it to generate a Paperback using KDP, but KDP renders the printed contents list inaccurately for items over 99 - it's a book of poems, and in the KDP proof TOC, items 100 and above are indented by six or seven spaces and spoil the look.

As an alternative, I thought I would remove the TOC altogether and replace with an unlinked list of poems, but must have missed something.

I edited out all the contents of the TOC using Code/HTML view, pasted in a text List of Poems and changed the name TOC to List of Poems.
But KDP is now rejecting it - Error - while not telling me what is wrong.

I did notice I still have a file toc.ncx there, which it will not let me remove.

Can anyone please spot what else I need to do to remove all trace of the TOC and its links?

Thank you.
