AAARGH - the plot has thickened considerably - enough to try the patience of a saint - and further mixed metaphors - - -

After poking aound and experimenting with the book (and not a little reverse engineering) - here is what I have.

This is a large 2-volume set. More than 700 pages each volume. Then there is a huge detailed single combined index for the set. And each and every entry in the index is hot-linked to the main text. And then - there are copious footnotes and every footnote is a hot link to a separate page with the footnote. That page has a return link so you can go right back to where you were reading. AND THEN - there are a bazillion latin phrases and sentences (remember, a hundred years ago it was a sign of great learning to do that - the reader be damned!), and each of these phrases are hot-linked to their own page with the translation. All in all, it is the most complex and dynamic eBook I have ever seen.

I don't think I'm going to be able to prise it apart any time soon!! <SIGH>
