Does any one know how to add new bookmarks (or go to existing ones)?

I have read in the FAQ that there should be buttons for this in the toolbar, but I can not see any (I am reading PDF and HTML docs). There doesn't seem to be any info about this in the manuak either.

You can't add bookmarks to an HTML file without changing the code of the file itself and as for PDF the bookmarking has not yet been implemented.

But to show & use hyperlinks in pdf files is implemented, I use them to navigate. [ToC with links]

wait for release 27.9, then we will have all the features we want.

Until now it's far from being finished.

Thank you !! I have many PDF reference books that use hyperlinks extensively, but since I didn't see them displaying in a different font/greyscale, I'd assumed hperlinks weren't supported.

Clicking on one after reading your post jumped as expected :-).

Now, here's a question ... if I've jumped to via hyperlink, is there any way to get back (ie, the equivalent of a back button)? Without that, the hyperlinks aren't as useful as they could be.

Yep, it is defineable in pdf file how the hyperlink rectangle looks like, if it is set as invisible, it is not a great help on iliad, because you don't have a mouse cursor which changes its shape above a link as on PC.

Not yet, it's a pity. I set on page 1 a link to ToC, because you can jump to fist page easily, this is the fastest way right now.

Unfortunately, these are PDF versions of various books. I don't have the source, so can't make changes like that ... unless someone knows a free (or cheap) PDF editor I could use?

I think Jaws pdf editor [for Windows] can handle this [I don't know how much it does take]. OS, I really don't know.
I use Acrobat for editing pdf files; LaTeX for creating these. ;-)
