Plus you can assign an action to the button such as pop-up a window or play a sound.

I couldn't figure out how to do this.
I didn't have time to upload images so I tired creating a text button which in my understanding should work like a hypertext link -- you click on it (with the little joystick I guess) -- and something happens.

Did anyone have luck with this? Has anyone tried?
Buttons don't seem to be supported in BookDesigner... you need to manually edit the LRS file.

ps. I'm angry at SONY for saying that the Reader supports not-encrypted LRF (=BBeB) files, but they don't give any hints for how to create those.
CharButtons are suppoprted by BookDesigner and fb2lrf.
Similar to Connect books, they are used for cross-links (references) and look like underlined text. They can be selected with joystick.
As far as I know PopUp Windows exist in LRS specification, but Reader does not supported them.
