I want EPub 3 files that contain NCX for backwards compatibility. That is allowed in the format, but not required. In the O'Reilly book EPub 3 Best Practices, the authors say:
Quote:
In order to enable an EPUB 3 to be rendered by an EPUB 2 reading system, it has to include an NCX even though it also has to have a nav to conform to EPUB 3. Until EPUB 2 reading systems have become obsolete (no sign of that in the near future), publishers generally need to include both.
It's fine to tell me that getting this automatically included in conversions isn't currently possible in Calibre. I haven't been able to find an option to enable it - but there are a lot of places to find options...
