I'm wondering if anyone creates a page with a linked TOC (with an actual Table of Contents page, containing links to parts of the ePub like "Chapter 1," "Chapter 2," etc.) in their ePub when creating it for ITP and iBooks.

I successfully (?? I hope) created one in InDesign that is perfect in ADE, but I'm not sure if this somehow transfers over into iBooks, or if it's common practice to just include a real TOC in iBook ePubs. Maybe nobody cares about something like that with iBooks. But that's what I did for the others in Smashwords and Kobo, etc.

Hope this makes sense and isn't too elementary. It's my first go-around with ITP and iBooks and so far it's giving me migraines.

Thank you.
