I spent a lot of time with Gutenberg epubs in a former life, and I found that their quality was far better than most other digitizers with comparable scale. However, the tables of contents were extremely inconsistent and I had to essentially rewrite them to get anything like a usable outline.

SE looks interesting. I don't have an epub reader handy but I will definitely be back to understand the motivation (knowing it's a lot of work to do this sort of thing).

SE books all have rebuilt ToCs, yes. Gutenberg’s ones follow the presentation of the original scans, which basically isn’t useful for an ereading experience.
