The table of contents too much detailed, so it is long and slow to
scan, and there is no clear shortcut. Flipping pages in the
documentation takes ages (well, close to one second or more if I flip
a few pages). Do not try "search".

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.

Indeed, iBooks computes page numbers, which mean processing the whole contents.

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

That at least would be a relief. The TOC on iBooks is shown as a very long scrolling window, without collapsable parts.
