In EPub 3 version the HTML TOC is back and can also be directly used by the devices that support it as a separate TOC as well. MOBI traditionally has a link to the inline TOC and devices specifically support Mobipocket version of MOBI require it as they don't generally use or support the ncx file for that format.
Often older book will have an elaborate TOC that includes descriptions as well as chapters. In these case I try a preserve the inline TOC with linking chapter titles and embedded descriptions. I also find it useful for an outline particularly when it is multi-level.
If you encounter an Inline TOC and you don't like it just click on the first chapter and you will skip the rest no matter how many pages it takes.
