Broken index links in "A Minute of Margin"

The index of A Minute of Margin: Restoring Balance to Busy Lives by Richard A. Swenson has links that are all messed up. As you can see from the top of the Index, the intent of the creator of the index in the print version of the book was that numbers in it are supposed to refer to Reflection numbers, not page numbers. But whoever created the Logos links in this index seems to have made them jump to page numbers (or somewhere approximating page numbers, since there are actually no page numbers in this digital resource, nor are they in the print edition previewable on Amazon.com).

But if you click on any of the numbers after any index entry, it does not go to anywhere remotely connected to the Reflection number that it's supposed to indicate. For example, clicking on the 66 next to Accessibility overload goes to the top of Reflection number 29. Clicking on the 129 goes to somewhere in the middle of Reflection number 60. And clicking on the 153 goes to the middle of Reflection number 72.

These are all random places. The index is useless.

Please fix it.

    …that would be a computer. Probably a PC. [:P]

    Hi Rosie!

    Thank you for making us aware of this problem, as alabama noted the creator of the index is a computer. That being said, we want all of our Vyrso ebooks to be helpful and work as the author intended. I'll talk with our technical team to see what the best solution would be for this problem. Thank you again for making us aware of the issue!

    Thanks, Brian. Now that you're aware of the problem, it shouldn't be too hard to fix. Each reflection is an article, so each reflection number has a link appropriate to it (e.g., Reflection 8's URL is logosres:e0e4ccccae8efd41c8fb482ac9a45923;art=r14 ; it's article 14 because there are 6 other articles before Reflection 1, such as Title Page, etc.). So it seems to me the fix is just to make those numbered links point to the appropriate article number (add 6 to each number to get the r## portion of the link).

    It is the same PC that processes all other Logos books. They would not entrust such an important job to a fruit [:'(]
