It does. Loads into Sigil I mean. Sigil is my main editing tool and I use it hand-in-hand with Calibre. It will attempt to rebuild the ncx if I click on that option but it only does that based on the header tags and this is a typical retail epub ncx that was likely built manually and doesn't rely on the header tags. I'm certain I could rebuild the ncx and that it would then work with the conversion but it wouldn't have all the links I want from the original.

I'll wait until I can look through the ncx and play with it by hand. I'll likely play with an older epub that I know worked fine before and then compare its ncx to this one. I'll probably try converting one of these again to try and figure out if something has changed since an older version of Calibre.

Thanks again for the advice.
