Another good thing about the NCX Toc is that it adds no extra pages to the eBook.

The eBooks don't use paper and number of pages depends on font and screen size. An inline Contents page is a tiny overhead. It doesn't matter if it's there or not. More bother to remove it than leave it.

I delete all the files from the eBook I don't have a need for. No HTML ToC. No adverts. No previews. No review quotes. No list of other books from that author. No other rubbish not related to the book. S&S & Penguin as good at such rubbish. I also remove most embedded fonts. I also get rid of any graphics not being used. I also recompress most graphics. When I am done, the eBook is a bit smaller is size. Also, it's error checked and the code is cleaner and the format more consistent. I have never had a problem with any of my Sony Readers or my Kobo H2O. I think most problems are do to a problem in the code. |

You mean you don't like accidentally tapping on the chapter header and opening the HTML ToC? <snicker>.

Yes, if the book is old enough that they still link back to the TOC. That's...I mean, every once in a while, I still see a linked Chap. head, but that's pretty obsolete these days. We all know you don't like toc.html files, Jon. But some people DO, as the original questioner indicates. To me, having both is so much rain off a duck's back. Hitch |

It may be obsolete, but I bought a 2021 HarperCollins title that has, not only the chapter heads, but EVERYTHING linked. Dedication, Epigraph, Author's Note, Glossary, Copyright, everything. Bright blue and clickable. I thought that sort of thing had gone out of style long since in ebooks, but there it was! |

Most new eBooks no longer have a Table of Contents entry in the NCX ToC.
