Not a very professional-looking product, though the book is published by Farrar, Straus & Geroux.
Also, the links provided are only one-way. You can get from the TOC to a chapter, but you can't return to the TOC. You have to go through the menu if you want to look at the TOC again, which is a real pain.
Doubt that I'll be going to the Sony Bookstore for anything more than throw-away stuff anytime soon.

I've had good ebooks and bad ebooks from Sony. From this I assume (1) that it's mainly the publisher who did or did not do a good job checking the quality of what they submitted to Sony, and (2) that Sony doesn't routinely do anything with these except format them for the Reader and then sell them. About returning to the TOC, I didn't know this was possible. Hmmm. I must read manual.
