AZK is pretty much useless at this point. Most books that are properly coded will end up supporting enhanced typesetting and will be delivered to the iOS app in the newer KFX format. For those books sideloading AZK does not reflect how the book will actually appear in that app when published.
Indeed, I just purchased a book I published before and toc is shown on iOS though it wasn't shown when I transferred azk directly.
