When to Omit Table of ContentsIf you have a short book with a short Table of Contents, leave it out, Calibre will add it for you. You don’t want your preview on Amazon to be monopolized by a boring Table of Contents.

If you have an interesting Table of Contents that is part of your HOOK, leave it in.
