The brakes work on mine and the gas mileage is pretty good as well.

It seem to me that the bookmark works the same way. When used to return to a page it takes you to the first part of the logical page irrigardless of how many screen pages it takes to advance to the next page.

I just tried out my JB at FW .35m. It seems to remember the screen page that you left or powered off from. It does not revert to the beginning of the logical page.

The same thing with the ALP and it's new firmware 18g.

My error. The issue shows up in ePub and PDF with both JB and ALP.

If you exit a book and come back in via the menu it will take you to the beginning of the current active page (regardless of how many screen pages you were in.

If you power off while reading an ePub or PDF book. On power up you are returned back to the exact screen page. I guess going to sleep the device status is maintained where as leaving the book generated a bookmark like log that is used to log only the logical page left and not the screen page.

The same happens with the ALP and FW 18g with the exception that re-opening a closed PDF brings you back to the default font size regardless of the size you had when you exited the doc. Again everything is kept the same if you just power off then on later.

A quick test of the other supported formats (prc, mobi, rtf, html, fb2 and txt) show that your screen location is kept when exiting a book.

So if reading epub or PDF just make sure you leave at the beginning of a page or power off if you are in between.

Having TOC support and "Content Search" in both ePub and PDF is a big deal for me. Also I noticed that they have down sized the ePub page numbers dramatically. They are less annoying.
