How are you transferring the book to iOS?
I always use KindleGen (which is embedded in Kindle Previewer) to convert epub to mobi (which contains both azw3/kf8 and old mobi format, not sure about azk). Then I use Send to Kindle app to transfer mobi to iOS, and I always get a logical TOC. |

I thought it handles only azk. I export azk from Kindle Previewer and then transfer it to iOS using iTunes' file sharing feature. |

So I should never use azk? I've heard that file format for iOS should be azk before. |

I played around with AZK a while ago and I found the azkcreator included in the Kindle Previewer to be quite buggy. I did testing on the files it produces and found some serious problems:

When KF8 was released by Amazon it was not supported in the iOS app, possibly due to Apple's restrictions on HTML rendering software. (KF8 is based on an outdated version of Webkit.)
The iOS app instead uses the web-based KCR (Kindle Cloud Reader) renderer. AZK format was developed as a means to sideload KCR content into the iOS app for testing. AZK is pretty much useless at this point. Most books that are properly coded will end up supporting enhanced typesetting and will be delivered to the iOS app in the newer KFX format. For those books sideloading AZK does not reflect how the book will actually appear in that app when published. |

So is there a way to publish a book for only myself(author) on KDP in order to proof actual book?
