I notice chapter markers about as much as I notice locations or page numbers. I know everybody reads differently (and reads different kinds of books), but I don't remember tabs or book marks sticking out of real novels marking where the chapter were (novels mind you), so what's the big deal with visible 'tick marks' if the TOC will get you there? If we were talking reference material I could
maybe see the importance (still... TOC comes to mind), but the fiction that I usually read seems to like being read from beginning to end -- one page at a time.
So can someone enlighten me as to how seeing where the chapters are (or being able to tippy-tap to the next/previous chapter with a button) would be an advantage to this novel reader -- who only reads books once? What intense joy am I so obviously missing out on?
I'm thinking that the main reason you don't see chapter markers in
all Amazon books is the simple fact that a relatively small portion of readers really, truly give a hoot about "speed referencing".
