I'm not at all sure whether this should go here or on the mobipocket tool forum, so if I'm mistaken please move it.

I've just started reading a book from HarperCollins/PerfectBound which will not remember where I stopped reading, and will not accept book marks either. I have no problems with other books, including other HarperCollins books, and the Cybook is 80% charged. The chapter links do work.

Two questions
- Is there a way around this other than finishing the chapter each time I read, or perhaps going to the beginning of the chapter and paging forward?
- Would I be entitled to ask the Publisher (HarperCollins) or distributor (Fictionwise) for a new copy of the book? Surely the ability to resume where I left off is an integral part of any ebook!

Regards, Alex
