<div>I don't think book level introductions are usually particularly important - definitely not a serious bug. Chapter level ones may be important. They are usually suplementary material which isn't all that important. If the user gets it, fine. If they don't, they are unlikely to know or to worry. For example, how many e-sword bibles have book level introductions (seeing as they are unsupported in e-sword, I believe)? That said, I intend to fix it in BPBible.<br>

<div>BPBible does show chapter information, but not book information.</div>
