I honestly wonder what real use page numbers are, given that they are extremely unreliable on ALL MobiPocket implementations. Suppose you're reading a book, page by page, and you note something interesting on page 200. If you later open the book, and do a "goto page 200", the problem is that you won't finish up at the same place - you could be 50 pages out either way. This problem appears to be "inherent" in the core Mobi "engine" - it's not something that Bookeen have introduced. I have to ask, therefore, what the point is of having page numbers that don't really mean anything?
