Instructors usually tell students to "read pages 240-325 before next class." It's RARELY an easily definable section. I'm sure this will change in time.

Hyperlinks are fine when they aren't broken. I totally agree. In fact, hyperlinks are probably superior since they aren't subject to typos.

Also, I totally agree with you about the laziness of publishers. I'm currently reading a second book where all the tables are bonkered making 10-20% of the information unusable. The ebook cost more than the paper edition too! If I hadn't bought it 2 years ago, I'd return it to Amazon with my complaint.
