A table of contents (TOC) is important for a good eBook reading experience. A working TOC allows readers to navigate between chapters easily. By following the instructions on this page, you'll create two types of TOCs for your eBook:
- TOC page. Also called an HTML TOC, this is a page at the beginning of your book with links to each chapter.
- Kindle Interactive TOC. Also called the NCX, this TOC is displayed in the Kindle menu and can be accessed from anywhere in the book
