I would say that the "half title" page should always be omitted from an ebook with the exception of using one as a divider between the components of an omnibus. Also, I would omit the table of contents page unless there is something very special about the book's organization that makes it important to read the ToC before reading the book (e.g. Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar & Sheep Look Up and Dos Passos' USA Trilogy). The other pieces are optional and should be included if important.
