I've used several ereaders (Sony and Kindles) and always when I reopen a book I'm at the same place a left off. On my Kobo Touch this works in ePub but not with Txt files. I've been using txt more recently because they are so wonderfully fast and efficient and they seem to be the best way to read PDF's. (Select all text in the PDF and copy and paste to a Txt document.) PDF conversion with Calibre was a disaster resulting in blocks of text missing throughout the document. And most PDF's are impossible to read on a 6" screen.

I should mention that it does stay at the same place when it sleeps but not when it powers down.

I'm using Software Version 2.5.2 (403dd7d861, 5/7/13)
Guess that means it was updated on July 5th, 2013.
