I recently got Kobo Touch after my Sony PRS-650 broke. The most painful change is the way hierarchical table of contents are handled. And there are many books where such ToCs are in use (for good) - for example most O'Reilly-sold epubs.
Yesterday I wanted to refresh my memory on some topic using SQL Cookbook. So I opened the book, and opened the table of contents to find the chapter I wanted to read. Kobo Touch displayed plain list of all table-of-contents items, without any hierarchy. The list claimed having 147 pages (147 pages of table of contents, in 300-page book) and was navigable only back and forth. In practice: there was no way to use it to navigate to proper place in the book.
For comparison, after opening the same book on Sony and going to ToC, I see list of top-level chapters (1-2 pages), after I touch some chapter I see it's sections, after I touch the section I see it's subsections, finally lowest level opens book in the correct place. 3-4 finger touches, a few seconds and I am in the chapter I am interested in.
Do I miss something? Is there a way to get reasonable ToC on Kobo?
