I've recently bought a lot of the digital content on dndbeyond, which is awesome for creating some fun characters and fleshing out their character sheets. But every time I want to go through the content myself to read up on any cool features I missed its almost impossible without knowing exactly what section in the book/guide i need to read. I just generally like flicking through and reading about the different options one after the other not having to pick a section/feature/class paragraph that ends up being useless on its own, I then have to navigate away and find all the other relevant sections and flick between those too https://19216811.cam/https://1921681001.id/. Is there any sort of nicely readable pdf view of these books or have I literally just spent hundreds on a glorified Google search for 5e? Id like to support dnd beyond as the character sheets are amazing and very useful, but if the digital books are all like this then I don't think its worth it
I guess my question is what features are feeling problematic? There is still a table of contents to rapidly move through a specific book. You can also make bookmark folder to specific sections you use frequently or specific entries. Making a spell book for a bda guy? Just bookmark each spell into a folder, arrange them as necessary and bam quick reference option. Same thing can be done with monsters or magic items as well.
BTW the table of contents button is in the top right on Android, three lines with dots before them.

"Where words fail, swords prevail. Where blood is spilled, my cup is filled" -Cartaphilus
"I have found the answer to the meaning of life. You ask me what the answer is? You already know what the answer to life is. You fear it more than the strike of a viper, the ravages of disease, the ire of a lover. The answer is always death. But death is a gentle mistress with a sweet embrace, and you owe her a debt of restitution. Life is not a gift, it is a loan."
