Thanks for your kind words.

Reading his reports & books (his poems are lower quality; he wasn't a poet then a prose writer) give phenomenal insights in the daily live, the social and political circumstances of these ugly times - the first World War, then the power struggles in the Weimar Republic, followed by the nazi takeover.

Joseph Roth was an excellent journalist & (book)author. Also jew, a generous grand seigneur, and sadly, an alcoholic. These circumstances adversely affect his psychosocial, financial, and health situation.

Former a close friend to Stefan Zweig; I read their (voluminous) correspondence „Jede Freundschaft mit mir ist verderblich“ (not involved in Werke 1-6). German wikipedia offers obviously much more info than the English one.

I download from archive.org source the ePub & PDF files (former are quite faulty, only to use as a rough concept - latter for the visual insights) and use largely the format that is given; appropriately adjusted to the ereader medium.

I still don't see why you would need links to go from the <h3> back to the TOC though... if you designed the TOC properly, you should be able to use the device's functionality to jump to any other chapter in the book:
In calibre or sigil there are no problems with overview/orientation.

Edit Book view (Werke 2) (I like named, but only necessary entries (max 260 KB) in the Files Browser.)

But when reading the book with ereader? Let's say I read any report in the middle of a volume. The inline ToC in one book is about 70 pages, 8 entries per ereader page.

inline ToC (toc.xhtml)

The views of calibre Edit Book to sigil are different. So far I got very few experience with sigil.
