I see I was still editing my post when you answered.

I saw books have a toc.ncx file in the OEBPS directory.
What benefits this from having a TOC.HTML file in the OEBPS/TEXT directory?

Functionally wise I believe there's little to no difference on a computer based ebook viewer, but I wonder if there are added benefits on using a toc.ncx file system in a modern ebook reader?
I am guessing that toc.ncx is less flexible than a html file in layout?
the NCX is a semantic ToC, which means the ereader understands it and marks chapters for navigation. (e.g. the Kindle's GoTo menu.)

The toc.html is just a page in the book with hyperlinks to chapters.

Many people use both.
