Something else I noticed in the online PR converter and the PR viewer on the Scribe:

there is no apparent limit of how many TOC entries a PDF file has that gets send to kindle (the one I tried had over 400 entries in the TOC) - Kindle Create for homemade PR still cannot have more than 100
the hierarchy of the TOC is completely preserved, but not displayed completely smart - as in you don't see how deep you are in, just that you are in - sometimes it helps to collapse and then expand an TOC item to see if the next (expandable) item is inside that one or on the same or higher level (if it doesn't disappear when collapsing, it is not a sub or subsub part of it)
links work - both inside and external to webpages (kind of obvious, but better than before)
crop margins gets rid of margins - no menu item, but if selecting the smallest margins that is what it is. very annoying it sometimes forgets to crop the margins after another book type was opened and you have to enable it again with turning the margins to a different setting and back to the smallest
there is no more percentage display at the bottom (same as PDF and comic)

In short, I love the new PR on the Scribe. It finally has the benefits of the PDF viewer (search, lookup, highlighting), PR viewer (write on book), comic viewer (crop margins, show full screen including no more wasted space of percent, page, location). It does the TOC a little better than the PDF viewer - the TOC of PDF is completely flat with nothing to indicate the hierarchy.
