    From what I've seen, the TOC seems to show up at the end of the book.

    on all my epub going to toc takes me to the end of the book, like a different section (in other words if the book is 400 pages, it will say page 1 of 1 but you can see the slider at the bottom is all the way to the right, so really it is like at the end of the book), but then the page just has a blue link that says "cover" and hitting that takes me to the cover at the beginning of the document.

    same document on .mobi though will in fact take me to the toc.
    so it seems either it just does not have the toc for epub or at least I I can tell.

    Looks like a bug in the TOC handling. I've just had a check, and the O'Reilly ebooks have a full TOC when viewed in Calibre on the PC, but only have the cover in the TOC in FBReader. The Baen ebooks I have show full TOCs in both though.

    You might give http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=58340 a try. It specializes in epub.

    I've checked with FBReader on the PC, and that also fails to show the TOC, so it's a generic issue rather than an N900-specific problem. I've also tried MeBook on the N900, and that just locks up completely when trying to open one of the O'Reilly books (I left it 5 minutes and it still hadn't opened).

    I am using Dorian to read my O'Reilly epubs - it seems to recognise the TOCs. It has some other bugs but in general seems to be a lot quicker than fbreader.

    It does not seem my toc...it just shows numbers which pertain to each section but you have no idea what the sections pertain to or which chapter the sections pertain to.

    In the latest version of FBreader I can't copy and paste text. You can turn on allow text selection in Preferences but you used to be able to choose copy selection to clipboard and now that's gone.

    Ctrl-v has never worked in FBreader and still doesn't now, it seems.
