I have seen a few books from New York publishers with exactly that at the opening page, plus probably a warning that the Goths will tear me apart if I pirate the book, and always an invitation to sign up for the mailing list.
This would work well in the awful Daniel Silva TOCs where fifty numbered (or, if he's feeling especially daring, date-lined) chapters are listed, one after the other for two or even three "pages."
Personally, I like the html TOC for its sales potential on Amazon's Look Inside sample. I tailor my chapter titles with Look Inside in mind. But I too use the virtual (NCX) index on my Fire tablet and my iPhone.
