If you want to include a ToC (maybe for "accessibility" reasons), but want it to be unobtrusive, putting it at the end is a reasonable option. Some printed books have the ToC at the end too.
I would probably not include a ToC in a simple novel with a dozen chapters. I'll probably include it if there are many more chapters, or interesting titles, or a more involved structure (parts, subchapters, etc.), or if it's a compilation of poems/short stories (or a technical book, of course), or if there are nice illustrations or artwork for the ToC... But I'd put it at the beginning (unless I want to avoid spoilers).
