BIND9-ARM (HTML) feature request: better hyperlinking in/of chapter 6

[Lawrence K. Chen, P.Eng.]

So does this mean there could be a Kindle edition of it?

Having impulsively snapped up a new Kindle Paperwhite (2nd Gen) for $19 (WiFi 
only), when I originally had no plans to do so...since I had only jumped in 
on using the first gen Kindle Paperwhite 3G a few months ago (before that I 
had a Kindle 2.)

I sent the PDF to my Kindle once....  don't even want to think about it even 
if I'm in a bind.  Though I had at one time thought about trying to read it 
cover to cover....
