It is unclear to me from your description what the problem is that you are seeing. Is it with the TOC as it appears within the pages of the book or the one you see when you use the GO TO function (TOC icon in newer firmware)?

For personal documents Amazon delivers KFX format only to Scribe devices. Other Kindle apps and devices receive either KF8 (azw3) or MOBI format instead.

(My belief is that Amazon wants to keep their Enhanced Typesetting features (as implemented in KFX format) for purchased books as much as possible so that they will have a cosmetic advantage over personal docs. They were forced to enable KFX personal documents on Scribe devices because the implementation of handwritten annotations is tied tightly to KFX format.)

That format difference does not explain the problem you are experiencing with the table of contents. The TOC should be available in any of those formats.

I suspect that there is something wrong with the coding of the table of contents in the document you are sending and that problem is being handled better in the conversion to KFX format.

What format are you using to send your documents to Amazon?

If EPUB you could post a file that exhibits this problem so that someone could take a look at the coding. (Do not post the EPUB if it is a book under copyright. In that case I suggest using the ScrambleEbook plugin for calibre to remove the copyrighted material before posting.)
