I had the same experience. The page number is 5/5 and the arrows are 
grayed out. That looks like "the end" to me.

But before that, it says "Congratulations for finishing the first 
chapter. You're now ready to dive into the world of D." which may (and 
did to me) mean "this is the end, go out there and try out D now." It's 
easy to miss "first chapter" in there.

1) Arrows should not be gray (how about green?)

2) 5/5 doesn't carry much meaning for me and potentially confusing as it did

Somewhat related, it would be better if we had arrows at the top of the 
page as well, which would not move relative to the person's mouse 
position. When I want to flip a few pages back or forward, I should not 
hunt for the arrow with the mouse after potentially moving the page up.
