Contents Incomplete in Dictionaries (and possibly other resources)

I was just looking up a word in a Bible dictionary and found a problem that appears in all the dictionaries (at least that I tried).

The Contents only shows the first 30 entries under any letter. For the rest, you need to scroll, which can take a VERY long time.

As an Example:

1. Open "Encyclopedia of Christianity, Vol 1-3" (or any Bible Dictionary)

2. Touch the middle of the screen to bring up the option to see the Contents

3. "Click" on "Contents"

4. Hit the ">" next to "A"

5. Scroll down the list. The last entry is "African Independent Churches"

6.Click on this last entry (African...)

7. Scroll to the right, there are still many more entries after the last one that shows in the Contents. (I am now looking at "Aggression".)

 

To see how long this can take, after clicking on (African...), see how long it takes you to scroll to "Azerbaijan", which happens to be the last entry under "A". (In this case, you can go to "B" and scroll backwards, but you wouldn't know that for whatever word you may happen to be looking up.
