Both mobigen and opf2mobi handles table of contents if they are specified in the correct way. html2mobi generates a TOC for a collection of files. for one file you have to put the TOC in the HTML files yourself.

What kind of functionality are you looking for concerning table of contents?

I got my Kindle's PID both from the script and from Mobireader, and added it to my library account, and downloaded a book - no go I'm not authorized to view it. I can open it in Mobireader just fine (my PC is one of the 3 devices allowed at the library).

See A Beginner's Guide to Kindle Content (1st post item 4). The bottom line is that only Fictionwise and BooksOnBoard MOBI e-books work on the Kindle.

You also need to post-process the book file with kindlefix.py. If it still doesn't work then I'm afraid it's not possible to read library books on Kindle.

Oh, now THERE'S a missed market opportunity. Libraries often buy books from Amazon already. They could clean up if they could make sure mobi library books would run on the Kindle.

IT WORKS IT WORKS IT WORKS

This is so awesome. Although the titles are all screwed up so you have to open them to see what they are.

It sucks that my library has more DRM PDF than DRM PRC, but hey, something is something, and hopefully the Kindle of the Sony Reader will implement DRM PDF.

You're lucky. My library only has PDFs, no Mobipocket.

ebooks.com accepted my Kindle PID so I assume that I'll be able to download and read my DRMed MobiPocket books I purchased there. Haven't tried it yet but I will when I get some extra time.

@GatorDeb - If you want to fix the titles use mobiperl Tompe made windows executables (I'm assuming you're using a windows computer) and mobi2mobi would allow you to add the title and author to the .AZW files. I had to do that because I had way too many DRMed MobiPocket books so I need to see the title.

It does not work in Mobipocket. But It works in Fictionwise. The problem with Mobipocket is the they do not support the * in the PID.

Mobiperl comes with Windows executables that don't need perl to run. They are still command line programs though.

Ah cool if that's the case then I did the command wrong... what would be the command to give 100.prc a title? Thanks!
