And it's a fat book - over 2000 "pages" as compared to Treasure Island, which has 870. I tap the book icon at the bottom of the page, and go to the book itself. As the App is processing the pages I can start reading.
How good a job does it do? Eg, Boswell's "Life of Johnson" has literally thousands of endnotes. Do these appear properly "linked" to the text - can you read an endnote and then return to your point in the text?
