I use different devices to eread. I don't have a dedicated ereader. I read a lot of stuff on my LG VU (phone) since I am on the go so much. When I am reading a book at home I use my notebook, I also upload that epub to http://bookworm.oreilly.com so that I can read it on my phone when I am away from the house. Its works really well for me.

But the problem is that without a Table of Content its almost impossible to navigate the book. http://bookworm.oreilly.com automatically bookmarks the chapter you left off reading at. If there is no chapters then you get to start at the beginning of the book since it doesn't know where you left off. Would be nice if that site just let you bookmark for yourself. But even so what if you forgot to bookmark lol. Its not fun trying to scroll through 200 pages, 350 pages, 500 pages etc lol.

And I have done this. I think you get the picture.

So now I always create a TOC using Sigil when there isn't one, which can be a pain (the program is young and in development, thought I do appreciate it).

I am not trying to come off as ungrateful to these authors that hand out their books for free when I ask about a TOC. I really need a TOC lol.
