It's actually pretty disheartening how few e-reader-native e-books there are these days. Most of the e-books I read are simply reformatted paper books. The better ones -- and, anecdotally, I'd say these represent 5% of the e-books I own -- have hyperlinked chapters. It's pretty clear that the big publishers are still treating e-book editions as afterthoughts.
No doubt this will change. E-book consumption is rising rapidly, and it's abundantly clear that the e-reader/tablet/etc. is the future of the industry. But right now, the e-book is still in its infancy, and publishers haven't yet shifted their priorities in its favor.
