Sidebar TOC not appearing in iOS following azk conversion

marcfiszman · 07-10-2015, 08:14 AM

I'm starting with a valid EPUB 3 file.

KindleGen conversion to mobi seems to work fine. I've tested the file on my Paperwhite and in the Kindle desktop app for OS X. Notably, a full, logical TOC appears in the Go To menu on the Paperwhite, and in the Contents sidebar in the desktop app. I've also included an inline HTML TOC. This appears in the desktop app in the Go dropdown.

So, all seems good.

The problem appears when converting the mobi to azk with Kindle Previewer to test on my iPhone. The book looks fine, but the logical TOC is not appearing in the sidebar. There is a link to the HTML TOC.

How do I get the logical TOC to appear?

Thanks for any help!

This appears to be a AZKCreator.exe bug. I.e., there's nothing you can do about it other than complain about it to KDP.

I would suggest you add an NCX file with the TOC and see if this fixes your problem. NCX is acceptable in ePub 3.

Yeah, I had a quick go with that, but it didn't work. Will take some more time with it today and see.

Otherwise, KDP have asked me to upload a copy of the file so they can take a look. Will report back with any findings.
