By the way...Under 3.1, has anyone seen the 'ranged locations' like '302-318 of 4050' as mentioned previously?
In the few days I've been reading with 3.1, I've been pressing menu now and then to check, and I have not seen them. Just a coincidence, or did they simplify the location display?

An example ...
Teacher: please open the book on page 21
Student: hmmm... I wonder which page is page 21 ... hmmm...
So for students who replaced or would like to replace their heavy text books for their corresponding ebook versions, having a page numbers is a plus. And one of the reason why PDFs are still a valid format and so common for technical documents.
