Going to add another use for those "chapter marks", and the ability to flick forward to the start of the next chapter with a single keypress:
I see a lot of people saying that something they really want is the ability to see how many "pages" there are from where they currently are in a book to the start of the next chapter. For example, so they can judge how much time before they get there - should they just close the book and go to sleep now, or read on to the end of the chapter - that kind of thing. With chapter marks, you simply note the page/location number at your current location, skip forward to the beginning of the next chapter to see the page/location number at that point, then press the BACK button to return to where you were.
Of course, doing that will mess with the Kindle's "furthest point read" marker, but then so will laboriously paging forward to see how far it is to the end of the chapter. Having the chapter marks present simply makes it quicker and easier to do, if that happens to be something that matters to you. Which, from posts in other threads about page numbers, it appears it does to many people.
