MOBI periodical toc thumbnail image

ohiyox · 10-26-2021, 12:31 PM

Hi,

I am trying making mobi periodical that can display thumbnail, this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=158835
says the toc thumbnail meta tag should be added in toc.ncx, I have tried many ways and the kindle still can't show toc thumbnail, can someone tell me what the format is like?

this doesn't work:
<navPoint playOrder="2" class="article" id="2">
<navLabel>
<text>Title....</text>
</navLabel>
<content src="html/002.html#filepos373699" />
<mbp:meta name="description">something.</mbp:meta>
<mbp:meta name="toc_thumbnail" src="image00198.jpeg">image00198.jpeg</mbp:meta>
</navPoint>

Calibre can produce Kindle periodicals using its recipe system. As far as I know that produces MOBI files directly without converting from an NCX. As an alternative Amazon’s kindlegen can process their proprietary NCX markup to produce periodicals. However the markup needed for that is basically undocumented.
