Chapter detection in Kindle/Mobi

$

Whereas my epub file has a fine-looking, working TOC and each chapter is a page break the way I want it, I can't get the chapter detection to carry through to my Kindle. On the Kindle it still looks OK with the TOC (links work) and it does page break on chapters but the Kindle itself doesn't appear to recognize the chapter breaks. By that I mean I can't go back/forward by using the four-way-controller and the location bar shows no signs of chapter breaks; it's just a smooth line. I haven't been using my Kindle for awhile but I don't recall having this problem a year or so back and the quick flipping through of chapters I remember as a very useful feature. I miss it.

I did look at the sticky and also attempted some pages from the Calibre-manual and it seems to suggest I need to manually edit my epub file and make sure I have the chapter headings correctly formatted as h1, h2 etc. Given the amount of files I'd have to manually edit (so an unlikely exercise), I just want to confirm I've gotten this right. What confuses me is that though the h1, h2 chapter headings are not used for chapter headings in the epub files I've reviewed so far, when I view the file in Sigil it does split chapters into separate html-files and I figured that would be sufficient. What is I don't understand?

I'm using version 0.9.0.
