ePub 3 loses TOC when published to Kindle
Hi all,
I'm new to ePublishing so go easy ![]() I have used Adobe Indesign to produce an ePub 3 book - this looks and works fine in iBooks. I uploaded it to amazon - they converted it to Kindle format - the resulting book has no Table of Contents. I tried Sigil - this managed to provide a TOC for the document but, unfortunately included the full TOC twice. Not good. Can anyone suggest how I might cure this problem? (I'm using the latest version of Indesign and Sigil). Many thanks, Mike |

Check the landmarks section in the Nav file that InDesign generated. It should have an epub:type="toc" entry similar to his one:
Code:
<li> <a epub:type="toc" href="toc.xhtml">Table of Contents</a> </li> |

I have the ePub file - that's it as far as I can see. Where would I find the Nav file you mention? Cheers, Mike |

If you open the ePub with Sigil you can add a landmarks entry by right-clicking toc.xhtml and selecting Add Semantics > Table Of Contents. (If you haven't generated a separate HTML TOC, you can also tag the nav document as the TOC.) |
