But it's not Bookeen's fault. It's the fault of the people who laid out the book for use in Mobipocket. What I'd have done is create a series of interim pages. For example:

Old Testament
New Testament

then clicking on either would bring up a set of new pages with the various books - taking OT for example

Genesis
Leviticus
...
Psalms
...

Clicking on Psalms would bring up a page with a listing similar to:

Psalms 1 - 30
Psalms 31 - 60
...
Psalms 121-150

Clicking on Psalms 121-150 would bring up a few rows of chapters:

121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130
...
141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150

Using this method, you'd be able to get to Psalms 150 with fewer than 20 or so clicks.

In fact, I did something similar for a fiction work that had parts and chapters - with the chapters restarting with "1" in each part.
