It's tempting to try and list the TOC in multiple columns to reduce the number of pages, but I'm always concerned that getting "clever" might run afoul of certain ereaders or user configurations. Anyway, I will cross that bridge when I come to it, there are a lot of rivers to cross before then.

Depending on the plot you could possibly bundle your chapters into parts or sections and use that to make the Table of Contents easier to navigate (I was reading the 2nd Alicia pov chapter in part 3 would be easier to remember then I was reading the 7th Alicia pov chapter)
