I have used my pocket pc in the past to read my palm books. I also have the palm studio software to create my own books.
There is a work around that I have employed to create a chapter TOC in an RTF.

In Word I replace all "Chapter" with "~Chapter" with a page break before. After saving it as an RTF and importing into CONNECT, I can quickly search for "~" and add a bookmark for each chapter. When the RTF is then transferred to the Reader, the bookmarks come with and you have a complete chapter TOC. Not elegant, but it works when you need it.

I am very happy with ABC Amber Palm Converter that directly converts all non-protected PDB files to RTF (amoung many other format choices). Hope this helps.
