I'd agree with you mostly but...

complicated TOCs pretty much mean something other than a novel or text that you read through from beginning to end - which is going to put it outside of the Kobo's strength in any case.

Curious though, both of these examples are books that I think really aren't best served through epub renderings in any case:

For the Bible, I can picture an iPad app that allows you to find passages that illustrate particular teachings, organize daily readings for you, look up references and maybe have the passages tied to a giant gallery of artwork through the ages that are related to them. That kind of stuff.

Same thing for a cookbook. Turn it into an app that organizes menus, finds dishes that feature a particular technique, ingredient, sauce or cuisine. Allow you to keep notes on how a dish turned out when you made it, possible changes and tweaks that you've done.
