I have this epub on my kobo and overall I am disappointed.

Selecting embedded links to go to study notes is hit and miss. The Kobo has a hard time determining if I want to select a link or turn the page. Usually takes a couple of times to go to the link.

The other more annoying feature is that on the Kobo the table of contents is displayed with something like 100+ pages, and to get to Genesis means going to page 20+. Revelation is probably down at page 80+. I havn't figured out a quick way to navigate the TOC.

It is quicker to use the search function to go to a passage. I say quicker somewhat tongue in check, because searching usually takes 10+ seconds to return any results. This doesn't work well however if you want to find an article or map in the notes.

All this to say that I prefer to either use the epub on my iPad where the navigation is much better, or I use the online edition which has excellent side by side display of notes with text.

Using it on the Kobo hardware is definitely a last resort, though in a pinch it is nice to have it. Glad I only paid $9 for it though.
