If you can't very easily get back to the exact location you were reading at then that's a
HUGE UI blooper. Destructive actions (yes, forgetting the place you were at
is a destructive action, even though it's not as desctructive as, say, a text editor forgetting all the text of your 90% finished doctoral thesis) should be very hard to do by accident.
One of the things I hate really much about p-books is that it's very easy to lose track of where you are. (This is probably the main reason why I don't buy p-books anymore, I just hate spending so much time trying to figure out where I was (e.g. before I fell asleep). Oh, and the fact that it's so cumbersome to flip the page of (or even to just read from) a p-book with one hand.)

Actually page numbers are quite bad. I've come to love the percentage display of QReader. (E.g., I'm currently "59,2%" through
The Player of Games.) Not only does it give a better picture of how far along a book I am, but it also doesn't change when I switch font size, margins or page orientation. It does have one limitation, though: if there are more than 1000 pages you either have to use 2 decimals or live with the percentage sometimes not changing when you flip the page (e.g., in a book with 2000 pages a percentage with one decimal would only change at every second page change).
