Hi all. I'm (finally) more than halfway through Infinite Jest. (Reading this 1000+ pg book was pretty much the main reason I whined about not having a Kindle until my wife bought me one for Christmas, then when I whined about how much better it would be on an iPad, she got my friends to chip in for one for my birthday).

Unfortunately it seems that the Kindle app on the iPad has issues with mobi files that are this big. (Yes yes, mobi isn't such a great format... I know.)

In flipping back and forth from the footnotes, or doing searches, I've experienced odd behavior, including whole pages ending up italicized, footnote references missing when I return to the text, and most annoyingly, losing my place in the book when I quit the app.

The first two seem to be formatting issues that are usually solved by flipping a few pages forword or back.

I have a feeling the issue with losing my place is due to some weird state the app is getting into with regards to the "back" button for history. If I do a search for a term and start jumping to the results, then hit back to get to where I was before the search, then quit the app, when I restart the app, I am often returned back to one of the search results, NOT my place in the book.

This is frustrating, to say the least.

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Thanks.
