Thank you for clearification!

Anyway, download the ePub in this thread... https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54886 It is the first volume of the Haggard eBooks that HarryT made. Just run it with ADE for your computer and just start at the first page and go forward a few pages until you see the contents page. All the links to the various chapters are hyperlinks within the one ePub file. With the EZ Reader and Pocket PRO, you should be able to navigate to any one of those and then select the one you want and be taken to that part of the book. This is something that needs to be fixed ASAP if not sooner. |

I love it when you say this is only the first of the updates that means that the firmware will only keep getting better. Chuck |

JS: please, does Sony have ADE Hyperlink
Quote:
Does Sony have this hyperlink in epub? WHY I am asking is because if they do... then we know that epub could have this support and our factory can add it. If Sony does not have it yet... the problem could be with ADE's epub and the factory could do very little. JS: Try this: 1. Bring up the index of hyperlinks in any epub eBook 2. Press the "ok" button 3. Press button #4 saying "go to catalog" 4. Press the appropriate numbered key for the hyperlink that you want Is this what you wanted? |

Some ebook formats have special syntax for a TOC and footnotes, but hyperlinks can be used for these operations and for other things - and are required for ePub conformance. |

It is a feature that would be great if it worked properly, but I'm generally too lazy to use end notes unless I'm really confused. If you like using them, however, I can see it being really frustrating because it seems like something obvious that should just work and not be a hard concept for this kind of a device. If it was a simple click and right back to the text perhaps I would actually start using the end notes more often... Perhaps end notes are more of an English language thing and Chinese doesn't have an equivalent? If not I could see why the programmers don't see it as important. |

Hi Robert:
I'm not sure if you've already read it, but the Hanlin V5 review thread started by Mneme has more info on the hyperlink issue with Jinke firmware and its limitations: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55228 Also, JSWolf indicated in this post that Sony readers do support internal hyperlinks: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=33 Last edited by cingkrab; 09-03-2009 at 12:20 AM. |

Another kind of link is needed to use Wikipedia in epub format someday: links to a precise part/chapter/definition within another book in the same directory.
Such files are available in mobi format in several languages but they are not supported by the Hanlin V3. But the older files that contain Wikipedia in one big mobi file (around 300 MB) allow navigating through Wikipedia with links: http://pinguinburg.de/wpmp Since it is over for the mobi format, a nice goal would be to make epub's link support even better than mobi's. And Wikipedia in the reader would be a nice advantage for the first ereader brand capable of offering it to customers. |

I am certain that once they are implemented, the Astak hyperlinks will be infinitely stronger, and the most powerful hyperlinks of any ereader on the market.

To select a link with an EZ Reader you have to put in a link number? WOW! I much prefer the way it's done on the 505 which is to use the arrow buttons to navigate to the link of my choice on the screen and then use the enter button to actually activate the link.
I don't see why the 9/0 keys cannot be used to navigate links the same way and then the OK to go. |

So far as I can tell, the Hanlins don't support hyperlinks in most ebook formats. Not even in a format like HTML, which only has hyperlinks for navigation (i.e. no external Table of Contents). I'm not sure about support in FB2, because I did not have an example with internal hyperlinks. Last edited by wallcraft; 09-03-2009 at 09:22 AM. |
