Title page does not "translate" as TOC item

If it's not obvious, I am a man of the print era...so I'm slogging along this, but with high hopes.

No problem. Her book 'ePUB straight to the point' is almost a mandatory read. It contains good stuff, although it is very much aimed towards iBooks. There are some errors in it, but they are not crucial (@page is used by ADE for example).

With regards to CSS3/HTML5 I would like to mention that it can be used for ePUB3, but not for ePUB2. The ePUB2 format, is based on (X)HTML and CSS2 and then a subset of it. The ePUB3 format is not used very much yet.

Oh, I'm not exploring the book exclusively for eBook production. Actually, I thought making eBooks would be a fantastic complementary experience to Web Design and new digital platforms, which is what I got the book for.
I'm trying to immerse myself completely in all things code, otherwise I won't be able to shake the print-preconceptions that I'm carrying.

Bit of a tangent: It SHOULD have been an incredibly frustrating and disheartening experience to find out that the InDesign-to-epub process is full of holes and leaves much undone. It seems to be for a lot of people, anyways. Instead, I was extremely glad to find a LOT of online help, within communities such as these were the remaining steps can be taken with guidance on pretty much every aspect of the eBook process, and code, in general.

Anyhow, back on topic...and with new questions:
Is the option to create an inline/HTML TOC still in Sigil? there is no "button" for it, contrary to what the manual says.
Most importantly...does the .mobi format require this?

I tried an alternative and used KindleGen to create my Kindle eBook. Good news is, there is a TOC, exactly as I wanted it. Bad news is it's not "inline", according to the Kindle previewer. What does this actually mean?

Yes, the latest version of Sigil, still in beta, has an Inline HTML TOC option - its just under the Tools menu. Its a good idea to have one for Kindles, but not required for EPUBs.

It surely does! my apologies. And thank you!
Now, this, I'm assuming, is so that a TOC shows up as part of the e-book structure. If I don't include this (inline HTML), will the existing TOC show up as part of the device's navigation?
