  <pre><code>1. InDesign CC → File → Export → (choose my nested TOC)
  2. `KindleGen in.epub -o out.azw`
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the "Kindle for PC" software only shows the first level of headings, effectively flattening out levels 2, 3, and 4. However, I know Kindle for PC can show at least 3 levels, as I see in another Kindle book in my library. </p>
  
  <p>Interestingly, if I click Kindle Previewer → View → NCX View, I see the nesting properly. Do I need Indesign 6 with the Kindle Export for InDesign CS6?</p>
