So why do the PG generated mobis do not have a TOC ?
Better ask mobipocket. We use their official 'mobigen' conversion tool for linux.
Mobipocket is Amazon. The latest version of mobigen is called kindlegen at:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000234621
kindlegen tells me that it builds a TOC. Now if Amazon would release their "Kindle for PC" for Linux too, I could actually check the generated files... knowing that the Kindle runs on Linux where's the big holdup? $ ./kindlegen pg31142.epub *********************************************** * Amazon.com kindlegen(Linux) V1.0 build 85 * * A command line e-book compiler * * Copyright Amazon.com 2009 * *********************************************** opt version: try to minimize (default) Info(prcgen): Added metadata dc:Title "On the Nature of Thought / or, The act of thinking and its connexion with a perspicuous sentence" Info(prcgen): Added metadata dc:Date "2010-01-31" Info(prcgen): Added metadata dc:Creator "John Haslam" Info(prcgen): Added metadata dc:Rights "Public domain in the USA."
