Sure enough, I restored the levels and removed bookmarks so it was less than 100. It now imports without error, and levels are preserved. Send to Kindle is happy with it as well, and the conversion to Print Replica was successful.
So yes: this is pretty lame. But as we are stuck with it, better to know how to work with it (and please feel free to join me in complaining about it to Amazon -- I used the feedback feature in Kindle Create).
And we have a way to keep the conversion from happening and getting it to send PDF to Scribe wirelessly, should that be desirable.
I've been working on a Python script to automate the adding of PDF page links to Contents and Index entries, & add bookmarks for start of sections if they are missing. Might as well add feature to 'prevent conversion to Print Replica by adding bookmarks' to my backlog.  |
That is weird. KF8 doesn't have that problem for reflowable books with only allowing 100 TOC entries, nested as well. And non print replica KFX can, too, I think.
