Default PDF eBook issues

Hi, folks...

I purchased an ebook from Wrox -- Beginning PHP 5.3, which I think is going to be a great book.

My problem is that the Table of Contents page numbers and the Index page numbers are not "hot-linked" to actual book pages. There are 841 PDF pages, but the actual book only has 803 pages (starting on actual page 1). Thus there is a 38-page difference.

For example, "creating HTML tables" is on page 450. I have to add 38 to 450, then type 488 in the "locator box." I hit the return key, and I am taken to book-page 450 (PDF-page 488). What a hassle.

Contrast this with O'Reilly ebooks, where all pages are hot-linked. Thus, just click on a page number in the TOC or the Index, and <click>, you're there.

Are there any plans to bring Wrox ebooks up to this level of reader convenience? Before I purchase my next Wrox ebook, I need to have this feature available.

Thanks!
