Wow, linking to a page that redirects links is a great tip!
However, I'm not sure what you mean by a "go" folder. I assume you simply mean that all the links in a book target one specific web page (the "go" folder) that redirects links to other web pages. That specific web page, of course, could never change. Last edited by SigilBear; 02-15-2017 at 08:55 PM. |

From a reader standpoint, I go straight to chapter one. I don't read anything else, front or back (maybe the about the author on rare occasions). |

I was reading a book by Erik Larsson about the Galveston Hurricane, when I realized that I was reading about people I was supposed to know but to whom I'd never been introduced. I started paging back and found that there was a Prologue that was absolutely essential to understanding the characters and the geography, and which had been passed over by the SRL.

I'd miss it because I go to chapter 1. If I see a TOC, I will make note if there is a prologue but otherwise I miss it. SOMETIMES, I page back to see what I missed...but not usually.

But then it's your fault, not the book's.

I didn't say it was not my fault. I was just mentioning how I read. I read pretty much where the book opens. I'm not saying it's a good idea for everyone, but that's how I do it. I am well aware I could hit "back" and see if there is anything important, but I generally don't bother. I read mostly fiction and I know I've missed a prologue or three.
