The second draft of the display guide adds to the Navigation section the example
"Contains book elements such as headings, tables, etc for structured navigation"
Which is specialised wording that is hard to understand for anyone outside of technical experts.

If we are to keep this information, it could be made more understandable like "This ebook includes structure elements for headings and tables to help you navigate easily".

But I also think that this is mainly useful for AT users, so we could explicitly mention it with something like "This ebook includes structure elements for headings and tables to help assistive technologies users navigate easily."

(I resist the temptation to propose the reintroduction of "screen reader friendly")

Is there common phrasing for the functionality that AT users already understand? It sounds like we're trying to explain the functionality rather name it.

I'm wondering if there's some phrasing like "ebook markup facilitates navigation by assistive technology shortcut keys" that would be more easily understandable to users.

Markup, Structure, and Elements are all technical terms. What about:

Facilitates assistive technologies shortcut navigation
