webBooks have always featured nonlinear page navigation. This is the ability to go from the current page to several different pages with a single click and is the "native mode" for all webBooks. In linear presentations, the native mode of PowerPoint and PowerPoint-like apps, you step through several to many pages to get where you want to be.
In reviewing this ICE webBook with others I am constantly navigating nonlinearly. At first this is a bit disorienting, but with a bit of practice it comes naturally. It helps to recognize that this is the way the "web" works. You are on a page and can quickly get to other pages. And the reason this feels comfortable (so I claim) is that this is actually one way your brain processes information, quickly jumping from one topic to another.
Don't believe me? Take a shot at presenting a part of this ICE webBook nonlinearly and see how quickly you become comfortable. When you think you are lost, look at the bottom left of the page which shows the return path from where you are.
Really don't like nonlinear? Use the arrows on the left and right edges of the pages for linear navigation.
Become a non-linear presenter and provide high value your audience!
