1. Pagination *if* you've embedded a hard page-break in the file. I usually put those in (via BookDesigner) at the start of a chapter and let the Cybook re-flow as-needed whenever I change font family or font size. Works great.

2. Nope. Does *NOT* show total page count. However, it does have a progress bar along the bottom which gives a visual indication of how far you've progressed in the book.

3. One bookmark - auto-generated - which is placed where you left off reading in the book.

4. There *is* a 'Back' menu option, but at this point, all I've gotten it to do is return to the Table of Contents or to where I left off reading after going to the ToC.

5/6. *TWELVE* (12) font sizes and *seven* (7) font families on *my* engineering sample. At the largest size, I can see about 10 lines of 20 characters. At the smallest, well, I gave up counting at 45 lines but got about (and I can't be real sure because the font's characters are so small I need a serious magnifier to *DISTINGUISH* them!) 85 characters!
