I use the Kindle WiFi bibles: KJV and NET. Using Direct Verse Jump (by Osnova) I can jump directly to a specific verse. Sony ePub bibles can NOT do this and neither can print bibles. In Bible Studies I am always at the proper location while others are turning print bible pages and getting LOST.

I just type "jn314" and I am directly at John 3:14. That beats all other ways to get to that verse.

With regular books the percentage of book completed is far more important to me than pages or locations.

When I used to read pBooks, I always had to calculate the percentage completed by dividing the current page by the total pages. Kindle simplifies that calculation by showing the result directly on every screen.

The only use I now make of print book pages is to divide them by the price to calculate which book offers a better buy by volume available for reading enjoyment versus price paid.

If one has to cite references, one can use book and chapter references. Kindle WiFi keeps a hard copy file of every highlight and note which can be copied to the PC and printed with proper quotes and references. Sony and B&N do NOT offer this convenience. With print books one can copy a page but then must use an OCR program to get the contents into a Word document.
