Hi, my problem is that i only seem to be able to do it by using the item chooser and even that stops at a certain point. If i try to read it normally then i cant get to the next page or chapter. Also i could never seem to figure out how to use the table of contents to navigate to a spot directly. Admittedly it has been a few months since i tried this though.
