That sounds all well and good. And while "policing" books for "TOC-at-end" syndrome can foil some looking to scam the pay-out algorithm, it misses the point that there's also valid reasons for putting the TOC at the back of the book. Namely that the Look Inside/Sample can be rendered nearly useless by ebooks that have huge TOCs (that have to be placed at the front to avoid being "dinged" by over-zealous algos and customers).
Never mind the fact that there's a double-standard about who can place a small TOC in the front of the book that leads to a few key places--including the full TOC in the back--(so the free sample can have as much reading content as possible).
They need a better plan that allows authors and ebook creators to place the TOC wherever-the-heck they want without fear of getting a "badly formatted" notice/report.
