I too, could care less about quickly getting to from one chapter to another and do not lose my place in a book (though it has come in handy once or twice). For me it is simple: I like to know about how far I have to go to get to the end of a chapter, as I typically won't stop reading in the middle of a chapter. Also, the chapter marker spacing gives you an idea of how long a given chapter is (relatively speaking) - which helps with the decision: should I read one more before I turn in?
True pbooks don't have chapter markers, but it is far easier to flip through the pages of a pbook to see how much further you have in the chapter. And, pbooks don't have selectable fonts or font sizes or a built in dictionary - doesn't mean I can't appreciate those features in an ebook (yes I know it is the reader and not the book that has these options).
