Jump to chapter 5. Then go to page 20
Jump to start reading and go to page 20

You will be on a different part of the book.
That is not how it works. The records contained compressed data. You can instantly jump to any file position in the uncompressed data (that is what happens when you follow a link). So the record size does not matter because you have random file position access. But that is the only thing you have and it is this limitation that causes the symptoms we are seeing.
