Does anyone actually use the html TOC?

With Kindle eBooks, the HTML ToC is what the ToC link uses. So without an HTML ToC, Kindle eBooks would have no ToC.

ePub eBooks use an NCX ToC. So the HTML ToC is not needed. The only time you get ePub that doesn't use NCX is if the eBook is a 100% ePub 3 eBook. Those are few. Publishers would never publish amd ePub 3 that's not backwards compatible because they'd sell none of them (or hardly any).
