The most recent two books I've borrowed from the e-brary are Stephen King's Finder's Keepers and David McCullough's The Wright Brothers, both from Simon & Schuster. The King book has one of those awful TOCs with 50 or 60 entries, most of which have such illuminating titles as 1, 2, 3, etc. So S&S wisely banished the html TOC to the back of the book (along with the copyright page, which is also the case in the McCullough book).
If the SLR is set to follow the html TOC, would the book actually start at the end, tee hee? (It didn't, of course, and now that you mention it, I think it started way at the front, though not the cover. Alas, I can't go back and check, because the loan period has expired.)
