I've tried with no SD card and with SD card. There's no apparent correlation between the location of the file, the presence (or lack) of the SD card, the type of Mobipocket (Secure or not), etc. that I've been able to determine. I've even put the same files on the SD card and in the Cybook's onboard memory and experimented - same results. About 50% of the time, when I exit back to the bookshelf before turning it off or it auto shuts off, it forgets the last read page (though, occasionally, it will take me back to the
previous last-read page, the one that I
started from during the previous session!). If I don't go back to the bookshelf, it always forgets where I was at when it's turned back on again. I don't think that I've ever gotten a bookmark to work, even within a single reading session. It's a major annoyance.
Fixing the bookshelf organization and the last-read-page are two of the big "musts" on my Cybook wishlist. But, frankly, what I
really want is an eInk-screen device with a hardware and software interface inspired by the eBookwise-1150. I can live without the touch-screen (though it would be nice) and the backlighting (since I've found a perfectly satisfactory booklight, though having it integrated or as a low-profile optional accessory designed just for the device would be nice) but I really miss the page buttons, inverting screen (to switch from right to left handed book holding & paging), and collection management of the EB-1150. I miss the perfect last-read-page recall even more.
