Can't tell ebook-convert to NOT generate inline TOC for Mobi - Page 2

Using calibre-debug --tweak-book it should be a simple two line script to automatically remove nav.hxtml from the epub.

Thanks ... Is there more documentation or how-to for the --tweak-book than exists on the one options page? Since the plan is to completely automate this, I'm wondering if there's a way to pass a script into tweak-book and have it just extract, run the script, and auto-combine again.

As it stands from my experimentation, it appears that it's designed to run in a manual mode. You run tweak-book from one terminal, then in another edit the files on the fly, then flip back and answer y

Of course, is this actually doing anything more than running the equivalent of unzip, and then zip -r again? ... which is extremely scriptable.

Yes, it's doing more than that. Use something like expect to automate interaction with --tweak-book.
