The PDF e-book will probably start with bookmarks showing:

To show or hide the bookmarks, just click on the second icon in the menu bar:

Hover over a bookmark and you'll see the complete text:
Hover.

Click on the triangle beside a bookmark

and you might see nested bookmarks within that chapter:

Click on a bookmark and you'll go straight to the relevant section:

Two ways to hide the bookmarks after you're finished with them - #1:
Hide.

#2: Or click again on the navigation icon:

Other ways to move around a PDF e-book
1. Select the hand:

And drag with your finger pressing the mouse button:

2. Use the scroll bar to move up and down the document, just as you would with a web page or a text document.

3. Use the arrows in the top menu bar.
Just hold the mouse over any arrow, and its purpose is obvious.

4. Choose "fit in window" and use the Page Up and Page Down keys. (Also a handy feature when you are showing a PDF as a presentation.)

Choose big print for easy reading on screen
When you hide the bookmarks, the page fills the screen.
