At first I thought this volume had no active table of contents, but I rebooted it to index the entire volume. Now through using search I can bookmark the novels I want to read. Not bad for three bucks!

1.0 out of 5 stars Even reboot doesn't work, September 12, 2010

I bought this anthology after reading the comments here, knowing there wouldn't be a table of contents but hoping for the possibility of setting bookmarks by using the search functionality. I rebooted the Kindle (latest generation) twice, but still got an error message 'Your item has not yet been indexed'. Maybe I did something wrong. I checked the Kindle user guide for 'index' without any results.
Anyway, as long as the indexing doesn't work, I cannot read this book and so I rate it with one star. Should I ever find out how to resolve this I will update this review and probably the rating.

Without a table of contents, this volume is worthless. I'm running version 2.52 on second version Kindle. Don't bother with this product. I know that it isn't a lot of money..... but the product description does NOT match what you get. I am enraged at the quality control exercised by Amazon on this. I wish that I could give it zero stars.
