Depends on how it is organized.
 If it has a TOC listing each book at the front, and each book has a
link at the end (or the start of the next book) back to the TOC, then
it might be useable. I might even skip the "list the titles and check
them off" route in that case.
 But if it has a TOC listing each and every chapter in each and every
book, then it is likely to be much harder to use. A list of the titles
of the actual books might be very helpful so one at least has some
idea of what it contains.
 But if the TOC is clearly a merger of several TOCs with duplicate
copies of some books, or if it has no TOC at all, or a TOC that has no
links back to it, then things can get very dicey [1].
 I suppose, worse came to worse, one could go through it
screen-by-screen and Bookmark the start of each book. I haven't had to
do that yet, but who can say what the future holds?
 [1] Thus, my Dumas omnibus turned out to have not only two copies of
/The Man in the Iron Mask/ but also an essay of the same title
presenting Dumas' theory of who he was (which can be discovered by
reading the novel, BTW/ -- part of a separate collection of essays on
various crimes, some quite interesting, others less so.

Checked the sample read for the TOC. Major heading is type: The Great Pioneers of SF, The Lost Worlds, The Utopias and Dystopias, Space Adventures and Operas. Under that is author then each book. Each is a link.  So...
TOC
  The Great Pioneers of SF
   Jules Verne
    Journey to the Center of the Earth
    Twenty Thousands Leagues under the Sea
    etc..
There's a TOC link on each author, book, and chapter page that takes you up one level.
