I've made an Indesign book, with all the chapters loaded and arranged. I've created the TOC, with links to chapters, but I also want hyperlinks at the end of chapters to other chapters in the epub. (This is a choose-your-own-adventure book.) How can I bo this? I've tried making buttons that link to bookmarks I've made at the beginning of each chapter, but it's not exporting properly. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Cross-references are the usual tool for this and should work/export fine in reflowable EPUB. There may be some variations or even glitches across the spectrum of EPUB readers, but if it works in Calibre, Thorium and Apple, it's as good as it gets.

 

All bets are off if you're exporting to FXL, fixed page EPUB. It's an obsolete format and has many issues as time goes by.
