NO! Do not do that at all. It's going to look awful and it will take up space in the flow that you may want for other things. Plus, it's not needed. The way to make eBooks is to keep them as simple as possible. Making headers into links to go back to the ToC is just so very wrong on so many levels.

ePub has an external ToC that's very easily accessible. You can put links to the internal ToC in there. Also, Kindles don't need this either as they have a similar way to access the ToC. So all this does is look bad, be bad, and is poor coding.
