Some AZW3 books don't show proper chapter title

C4thie · 02-15-2025, 12:42 PM

Hey!

Some of my ebooks in AZW3 format don't show proper chapter title.
TOC (All chapters list) is working fine, I can move around chapters w/o problems.
But no matter if Im at chapter 1,2,3,4,5 [...] it always shows "Chapter 1"
In book menu, where you can see page, time left in chapter, %.
And title of chapter there always shows same title

Is it possible to fix it?

Sounds like the body of the book is in one file, rather than separate files for each chapter.
It can be fixed, just requires editing the ebook.

Whole structure is divided into separate files for: title page, chapter 1,2,3 [...]
With its own html code.
In theory everything looks fine (i think), but when uploading it to Kindle, then I notice this small irregularity.

I was converting these ebooks long ago, but as I remember, when I converted them from epub --> azw3, then I edited azw3 after convertion. I removed some files, and recreated their TOC etc, etc. So I guess maybe it caused this problem.

Ok, fixed it.

Even if I had toc.ncx file in every azw3, then in some files toc.html was missing
