True enough, I don't bother with the TOC when I'm reading a book. I just mentioned unzipping specific chapters as a possible future method to handle large reference books, like the Bible, mentioned by AZdave.
Sorry about my poorly worded comments, I understand that NC uses Adobe Digital Editions to display epub files. I'm guessing that B&N selected ADE to handle digital rights management, which isn't a concern with me as I am busy reading public domain books.
