On the iLiad, FBReader has an extra "next section" icon (a down arrow) to handle this. An alternative is to bind a key to the "next section" action. On the desktop (and on the iLiad) I bind down arrow to next section and up arrow to previous section. Do this by selecting the options (crossed tools) icon, and then the keys tab. I bind left and right arrows to next/previous page (on the iLiad this is the flipbar, page up and page down). In general, FBReader needs customization for your reading habits. There isn't much documentation, but see
Visual Tour of FBReader on a Pepper Pad 3 - or just play with the options.
I tried importing .chm files into Windows MobiPocket Reader. It worked on simple files, but chokes on typical .chm manuals. At best, this will give you a linear document with one level of navigation (multi-level TOC seems to be one thing that Mobipocket has problems importing).
