Thanks anyway eschwartz. It's been an interesting trip, trying to work out non-fiction with and index. Every ereader I use (that can make use of a linked index) puts the 'linked to' text on the page somewhere but not at the top, and even the paragraph isn't at the top. In a lot of ways it's as if they are trying to mimic paper books. I see that as a lost opportunity. On the html version of the book at least the 'linked to' text is on the top line so it's easy to find it. There's been some talk lately about books in browsers may be gaining ground and after this little foray I think that may be correct, at least for non-fiction. Fiction is a lot easier in ereaders of any sort.
