Every time I go to apple store about discount, the employee says iPad is not educational….get your story straight!

Truly disappointing!  

Furthermore Changing the Chapter Names is not reflected on the table of contents neither on the small page thumbnails on the left…

Google or Adobe on the other hand would make it work every where.
