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.

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

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

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.
