Turning on Index feature in Menu
I am looking for some help in creating a feature I've never used before in creating books for Kindle.
I am working on developing a way to better navigate a Bible and I want to use the Index feature that appears when you select the "Menu" button on a Kindle. I've only seen it on a few books and was wondering if anyone here knows how to activate that function and if it requires special coding. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! |

AFAIK, the Index feature is only available if the book publisher added an Index guide item (and the corresponding content) to a .mobi book. I.e., you'll have to create an index .html page and add a reference to it in the guide section of the .opf file. For example:

Did you use Calibre by any chance? If so try to convert your book with KindleGen or the Kindle Previewer. |

You're talking about dictionary formatting. Section seven of the Kindle Publishing Guidlelines.
