Having the backlink seems cool, but I'm not so sure about using the chapter heading for it. It seems like link text ought to describe your destination. I think for an omnibus, I might place a single link at the end of each volume that reads "Back to Contents" or something.

On the other hand I do like how your method doesn't call much extra attention to itself, whereas descriptive links would constantly remind people they're reading a book on a gadget. But then on the other, other hand, if it draws too little attention to itself, it won't be recognizable as a link.
