Running on Windows 10, Calibre version 5.8.1. When I open an e-book (AZW3 or EPUB, I haven't tried other formats) for the first time I am shown the cover. There is no "Presto Pointer" at the right margin. If I open the action menu (right-click) the "Forward" arrow does nothing. The only way I have found so far to get into the book is to used the "Page Down" key, or use "Go to". "Go to" "Book start" takes one to the cover again, and to location "1" does the same and "2" takes one to an early page, but not always the first. If there is a TOC you can use that. On the first page after the Cover there is a pointer to the left, which takes one to the cover again, and after visiting it a few times the "forward" action will work at times, but I have not figured out when it will and when it won't. In short, at least on my PC, it is a mess, and not even a predictable mess!
