Re: Epub 2 v 3

Hi, Joseph—

For EPUB 2, you need a TOC.NCX. For your list of illustrations, add a 
NAVLIST below the NAVMAP. More info:
http://www.idpf.org/epub/20/spec/OPF_2.0_latest.htm

Also, in your CONTENT.OPF file, you'll have a SPINE section where you 
list the files in reading order. Below the spine include a GUIDE 
section. The guide is deprecated in EPUB 3, but Amazon (assuming you'll 
use your EPUB as the basis for converting to MOBI) uses the guide to set 
the first reading page and your in-book table of contents.

         <reference type="toc" href="contents.html" title="Contents"/>
         <reference type="text" href="one.html" title="Beginning"/>

I don't know how well ereaders deal with EPUB 3. I've been waiting 
before I start using it for production.

Hope this helps.
