right now the amazon e-textbooks for kindle are not well formatted. Publishers are being lazy and not adding features like hyperlinked TOC or more commonly - no hyperlinked Index in the back of the book.

combined with the problem I had with my 128 mb harrison's principles of internal medicine kindle book (before they removed it from the market) - the problem was it did not search...

overall, I think amazon needs to require publishers to do more before submitting textbooks to the amazon kindle store. they need to raise the quality bar...
