How do like your PDFs?

[JVisgaitis]

Another question on PDFs as I'm just about done with some new product (yay!). On bookmarks, do you prefer the slideout bookmarks menu or do you prefer inline hyperlinks in the books actual table of contents? Or do you prefer both? Trying to figure out what the best way to go is and I wanted some opinions.

Thanks!

I think I'm the only human being on the face of the planet who doesn't like too many bookmarks. They end up getting in the way of themselves and I can't find what I want.

But as I said, I think you'll find that I'm alone in this opinion.

I like the book marks on the side. If they are only in the table of contents then I have to scroll up there if I want to look something else up, and it is just easier to pull out the side book marks and move around the PDF that way.

I also like bookmarks on the side. They make navigating easy because you can use them from everywhere in the document.
Although, even if a pdf does not contain bookmarks, I would still buy it if its interesting enough. I also tend to read more in non-bookmarked pdfs, this might be because I like flavor books.

I like bookmarks on the side. In text bookmarks are ok, but if you have both, the in text ones aren't going to be used very often.

What he said.

I'm more of a paper book guy, but I've been buying more and more PDfs recently. The easier you make it for me to use a PDF to find what I need, the better, and the more I'll buy.

Another vote for bookmarks on the side over links in the text

I hate links in my text. Side bookmarks please.

I prefer side panel bookmarks. I'm not a fan of in-document links.
