I'm only reading on my Kindle. I'm traveling around Asia now and I read a lot. I found that the Kindle crashes a lot in an airplane, and not on the ground on an island in the Gulf of Thailand. That indictes that people who are saying that it has to do with static electricity may be rigth. The air is dry in a plane an quite humid here on the beach.

But when it craches it goes in a reboot and everything is back to basic. I also loose the book and the position I was reading. That is why I find it important to have an idea of were I was in the book. I'm not always looking at the number but every once in a while I notice it. When I have to look up the number I will never do it.
