Hi Katie,
I tried pressing the 4 key several times quickly and I still didn't
get it to work. Maybe I wasn't as fast as I thought I was.

Hi Tommy,
Thanks for getting back so quickly. Page and phrase navigation do the
same thing because phrase navigation is the smallest unit of
navigation available in the book. In the case of Harry Potter, the
smallest unit is page. It works as designed, but perhaps it's just a
bad design. I'll talk it over with Steve. As far as the back page
thing goes, I tried it out in Harry Potter and, you're right, paging
back across a chapter marker is not as easy as paging back when there
are no chapters, but you can do it. You just have to press the 4 key
quickly a couple of times. Again, I'll talk it over with Steve, but
we may have to live with this one. I will look into the last issue
you mentioned about the pages around 627. I have a suspicion that
there's something funky about the markers in the file -- maybe there
are two pages that aren't sequential, for instance.
Thanks,
Katie
