That's entirely a reading software issue. If you don't like how a particular software/reader displays the TOC, you have a problem with that software, but that's not a reason to break the structure of the TOC.

By simply putting in four (4) spaces (spspspspCHAPTER) the toc is shown with structure and (at least to me) looks much better.

But you are only worrying about how it "looks", not about the structure. The information that keeps several chapters inside a part is lost.

Take a look at the toc in the attched ePub.

OK. Take a look at the attached screenshot (the first one). It's not a widespread reader, it's just the output of my script to convert ePUB into HTML. Since the TOC is flat, it's displayed flat (and leading spaces are dropped by HTML).
Now look at the second screenshot, it's with the correct structure. The style may not be too nice, but at least it keeps the structure.

When I build an inline toc, I am very concerned about structure. I have the same concerns in an ePub toc. The next thing I have to figure out is putting in blank line between sections.

Then create a TOC with the correct structure, and let the reader do the styling, indenting, collapsing and whatnot.
