I've now purchased four books that don't have the chapter to chapter jumping with the 5-way controller...
* "Into a Dark Realm" by Raymond E. Feist (purchased while I had my Kindle 1, dl'ed to the K1 and later the K2)
* "Wrath of a Mad God" by Raymond E. Feist (purchased from and dl'ed to the K2)
* "About Face 3: Essentials of Interaction Design" by Alan Cooper, Robert Reimann, and David Cronin (purchased web browser at Amazon.com and dl'ed to the K2)
* "The Outsretched Shadow" by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory
I'd sent a note to Amazon's support, and got the response below. Apparently the chapter to chapter jumping is something the publisher has to build in, and they don't all do it.
Harrumph.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may has caused you.

I've also since purchased and now read the sequel to "Into a Dark Realm", "Wrath of a Mad God", and that book also does not seem to have chapter markings.
Can you verify and explain why these features are missing from these books? and also detail how I can anticipate whether any other books I might consider ar missing these features?
Thanks! |
