I don't have a Touch, so cannot answer the question. But keep in mind that it's the publisher that decides whether or not to include chapter markers. Before blaming the Touch, you would need to check the same book on an older device.

As for checking the book on an oldelir device, that would do no good. I understand your point that not all books contain chapter markers, and that is indeed a publisher decision, but my point is that the KT doesn't even have the capability to show them even if the publisher includes them. This seems strange, to remove a useful feature from theit premium Kindle that exists on cheaper/lower end and older Kindles. It MUST have been a conscious decision to remove the feature, but I can't think why they would?
