I am surprised you say repagination is excellent. It doesn't even do repagination on PDA's. Perhaps you are saying it is fast because you don't know what pagination is doing. It is fast because it doesn't do any work. It does not compute the pages in the document at all. It only shows the size and a percentage of how far you have read on the bar at the bottom. It cannot predict when the next chapter will start. If you jump to a new chapter and then backup you will end up with a different looking page than if you approach the page in the forward direction.
My understanding is that the version for Linux does do pagination but I have not observed this version. The Linux version does not do bookmarks I am told. Bookmarks are related to pagination in that, in a real book, you bookmark pages while MobiPocket bookmarks a place in the file by distance.
