The Snapplify Reader app includes a powerful table of contents functionality, which allows students and educators to quickly and easily navigate to the correct place in their ebooks and e-textbooks.


The table of contents is available on all versions of the Snapplify Reader. If you cannot see a table of contents, it is possible that the publisher of the ebook has not set it up.
