EPUB is essentially a zip file with per-section simplified HTML files.
So any device that can render simple web pages should be able to handle
that with ease.  What I think iBooks is doing is it internally
pre-renders all the pages in order to be able to attach page numbers to
all the table of contents entries.  I suspect other readers that don't
do that will be able to handle this better.

That said, I think trimming down the table of contents nesting depth
might be worth checking into for this output format.
