One way to tell before you download the book is to check on whether it is a publisher quality book. The publisher quality books tend to have a paucity of navigation points.

I am currently reading the Amish of Lancaster Series by Sarah Price. My format choice is Daisy Audio. I am currently reading them on my NLS Player. The First book, "Fields of Corn" was just fine and could easily be navigated by chapters at Level II without any difficulty. The second book, however, "Hills of Wheat" cannot be navigated at either level with the previous and next buttons. When you press those, it goes right to the end of the book. I have a feeling, if I read them on my First Generation Stream, I will have no difficulty. Is there any way that before downloading a book, there could be a statement which might indicate navigation level or mark-up? This is really kind of discouraging and frustrating, especially if one falls asleep like I do as I do a lot of reading at night. Yes, I can manually put in bookmarks but, if I'm not awake, I can't and, the only ways of getting somewhat back to where you are in the book would be to use the rewind button or perhaps the phrase level.
When I am reading this book on the NLS Player, it does tell me page numbers but, of course, you can't go back by page. I have not, as of yet, checked out the other books in the series to know how they're going to act on the NLS Player.
I really don't mean to complain as Book Share is such a good service and I am so grateful to have it. I just wish that there was some easy answer.
I will be anxiously awaiting some response from someone who has experienced something similar or who knows why the different play-back occurs between the Stream and the NLS Player.
Thanks, in advance for your response.
