I think TOC's are slightly pointless for ebook fiction.
If one must be there, I would like it at page one. (Page two if you count the cover as page one).
The majority of TOC in fiction ebooks are simply Chapter headings or worse the first lines of text that are printed at the beginning of a chapter. Meaningless to me.
The physical books I've examined did not have these TOC's bizarrely enough. Just the ebook edition. They were all several years old though.
IMO TOC's in fiction ebooks are only useful for finding things like the start of the book, prologue, copyright, dedications etc. or skipping over them, and so should be placed before these items.
