Hitch... because I'm a control freak and like my own look for the TOC... also when I started out (years ago)the instructions were NOT to use the Word TOC-tool. Creature of habit I guess. I also always hated the look of the MobiPocket generated TOC as well as the Calibre generated one.
Odeta... the same answer as the one I gave Hitch. Most devices use the ncx toc anyway now except the older Kindle models, don't they. This 'in the front of the book before the start of your text' is for only those older Kindle models. It takes a bit longer (bookmarking and linking) but normally not more than 15min or so. And also because occasionally Smashwords will say "Where's your TOC" because although it's not necessary now for epubs, it is necessary for the books Smashwords makes for sale on their own site.
