Thanks everyone! I believe I'll just have chapters in the HTML TOC then to echo the print book and leave the frontmatter/backmatter links to the NAV and NCX.
The TOC illustration is simply an image appearing at the top, nothing complicated, likewise for the list of illustrations page. It's a children's book, if there was blank paper space anywhere, it got illustrated, hence the illustrated half title page. Thank heavens they are just B/W line drawings, because there are a lot of illustrations.
Speaking of which, another question? In the print book, only the full page illustrations are listed in the LOI. I planned to do the same with the ebook. Or should I link to EVERY illustration? I'm not sure what ebook conventions are for this, but there are a LOT of illustrations! And I've got other similar books like this to do, often with 30-40 illustrations.
As for Kindle conversion, I've had no troubles whatever with *converting* ePub3s without HTML TOC (via Kindle Previewer). I realize that publishing them would be another matter, since Amazon requires an HTML TOC, but they are for me and sometimes family. Hubby reads on Kindle, I read on Kobo, but have a Voyage to test on that I also use for proofreading. The converted ePub3s have worked fine on hubby's Paperwhite and my Voyage.
I guess I'll think about including HTML TOC in my ePubs from now on, there is a chance I'll live to see some of the books I'm doing become public domain. A couple may do so in a few years.
With frontispieces, so far, I usually put them where the text references them. In some cases, I incorporate them into an illustrated title page.
