I'm with you on this. I have always read my pbooks from cover to cover. And I still do that for ebooks. I'm annoyed that my Kobo ereaders don't open the book at the cover. I can see why you would do it, but I'd prefer to start from the cover. So, I have no hassle with having an in-line TOC. Especially for short story collections.

@mrmikel
'One thing I used to do to make it easier to navigate was to make each chapter head a link back to the TOC.' @davidfor 'So, I have no hassle with having an in-line TOC. Especially for short story collections.' I prefer an HTML ToC as part of the book. With an inline ToC you can navigate within the book, you don't need a button of the device. In my collection of short stories I have a backlink to the ToC at the *end* of each story. If you make the *head* of the chapter a link to the ToC you have to scroll back to the beginning of the chapter before you can click on the link. I think this is not so useful, especially if there are some pages to go back. George |

Bad examples don't make the case. In any event, it's all a matter of opinion. |

If he has titles for each chapter, I'd be less willing to loose it from the book. I consider looking at that, part of reading the book. If it was a collection of 100 short stores, I would definitely want to see it there. |
