In the Kindle, will the contents display all of them at once, so that to get to the last entry, one must first page through many entries? Or could it be done like in the Sony Reader, where one might click (say, for the Bible) first New Testament, then Revelation, then chapter 20--all within the Kindle's contents menu? Otherwise it would be cumbersome to get there.

The example I gave is linkable/clickable as you say. I used H1 HTML tags to designate level 1 headings and H2 HTML tags to designate level 2 headings. Each is automatically incorporated into the TOC and thus linkable. However, the Sony scheme of expanding or contracting heading levels within the TOC is not supported by Kindle. I wish it was!
BTW, a huge TOC like that for a Bible is never going to be good on an eReader, even when using a Sony. There are just too many headings in too many levels. A new scheme must be discovered to quickly navigate a Bible type of document. I believe @Sirmaru (sp?) developed one for the Bibles he formats. You might search here for that scheme. It was a year or more ago that i saw his post, so it might take some digging to find it.
