It's actually a clever ebook pun: the title says '..Nearly Everything', and you are in fact able to read...nearly everything.
It would be interesting to know how they managed to do that. For example, if it is not just caused by random corruption, it could be used to package a collection of independent works, each of which has its own beginning and ending. The last page of each could have a link to take you back to a table of contents. Or maybe you could include 'hidden' or 'easter egg' material accessible only if you use 'goto #' navigation.
