Yes. Or to jump to a chapter. Or to a bookmark added with a different font/margin/line-height/
whatever-changes-the-pagesize.
And I wouldn't mind seeing other user-specifyable options either, such as whether new chapters start right after the previous one ends or on a new page (such an option is of course impossible with fixed-page systems).

FBReader
seems nice, but unfortunately there isn't a version for Symbian S60.
(I'm stuck with QReader for now, which wouldn't be totally bad if it only would support some half decent format (e.g., some format that actually specifies what encoding the text is in (which is the first "feature" that should be added to any format, but apparently all devs who create formats are super-ignorant americans that don't use anything above ascii 127 and believe that
"plain text" actually exists), so that I don't have to modify the encoding manually all the time just to get it to display the damn text).)
