(I don’t think Kindle includes this feature, either."
I have a number of non-fiction EPUBs that the TOC is now displayed as "PART1, PART2, PART3, PART4." Not very helpful considering most of the useful chapter level descriptions are below that.

Interestingly Kindle Previewer has multi-level 'NCX' navigation. If only they'd add it to the Kindle itself. Many Kindle books actually have 2 level NCX's (no doubt the result of automated conversion from ePub). NCX navpoints are navigable using the 5way controller sort of like next/previous on an MP3 player. You only see the level 1 navpoints (in the reading progress bar as 'tick' marks), but it's possible to navigate level 2 as well if you back up a page from one of the level 1 navpoints.
But that is tragic that Nook doesn't navigate multilevel TOC. I was just going to buy one; now I will have to think about it a little. Perhaps they think Fast Scan(TM) is some substitute? Wrong.
