Dcalder, I've occasionally had the problems you've described, and only when the Cybook reboots itself (annoyingly) when I use the lookup mode. The effect is similar to Windows programs forgetting the changes I've made to my preferences if I crash unexpectedly, but from what you've said, it sounds as if you're shutting things down gently enough.
Aside from the problems with the lookup feature, my experience has been completely smooth: I've got about fifteen documents in .prc and .html format on the card and my dictionaries on the device (which seems to be a bit more stable there), I switch back and forth between three or four documents on average per charge, and in all cases, the page position has been retained. Before closing a document or turning off the reader, I do a "Bookmarks... -> Add Bookmark" as a precaution against other folks losing my position when they play with the device, and though I haven't needed to test it extensively, in my experience this bookmark functionality has been coöperative with perfect consistency.
I appreciate that the 1.0 iteration of the system has a number of rough edges, but given that your experience is so different from mine, I wonder if maybe the firmware on your device has been corrupted somehow.
