A few days ago, I received an email from KDP telling me that a reader had complained about the quality of my book...there were 'junk characters' in my TOC. So I went through and removed the few dots that appeared with nothing after them and resubmitted. However, today I got this email -

"We're writing to let you know that we've reviewed your resubmitted content and found that some previously reported problems still exist within your book.

There are typos in your book.

You can find examples of this error at the following location(s):Kindle Location :35 ; Description :Junk characters present in the Table of Contents."

Can someone please look at my preview and tell me what they're talking about? I simply can't see anything there that shouldn't be. This is the book - http://www.amazon.com/Mark-Dragon-Queen-ebook/dp/B006SH34VG

I checked the TOC on Cloud Reader and Kindle Keyboard and saw nothing other than the bullets that I assume you intend to be there.

Well, I didn't intentionally put them there, but they appeared from my Word Document when I used Mobipocket to create a prc file. My other books are exactly the same and no one has complained.

Thanks for looking, by the way!

I'd guess it was the bullets. Some characters in some fonts don't translate.

Did you do your TOC with the Word TOC maker, or did you construct it yourself? (I don't know how to put that more clearly, though it doesn't seem clear.) If you let Word do it, that could be where the bullets came from, & it could look bad for some people.

Thanks, everyone. I'm just getting more and more depressed about this. I don't create the TOC in Word. I simply make sure that all the chapter headings are in the same heading font and then when I put it into Mobipocket Creator, it pulls them into a TOC automatically...but always with the bullet points. As for the strange thing with the chapters going into one line when you turn back and forth, I don't know what that's about either. I'm no technical whizz, so this is just aggravating.

Thanks. That looks like a good link. I'll try to follow what it says when I'm not feeling so precious!
