Why bother teaching students Roman numerals, when they can just search for
explanations on their smartphones if they feel a need?  [/partial sarcasm]

I've never encountered any source forcing its ebook chapters to be read
sequentially.  But, since Amazon doesn't permit its customers to own their
titles, and the owner can do what they like, I am not surprised.
