What happened previously is that you'd get as far as page 201 by paging through the book from the start (as I assume you did), then later do a "goto page 201" and end up somewhere different. "Goto" is consistent - you'll always end up at the same point in the book with a "Goto page 201" - but it's a completely different place to the point that shows as page 201 if you go through the book a page at a time from the start.

To get back to my main point, by using the page readout in Iliad or Sony or whatever I can extrapolate where (or about where) the same place is in the Cybook and use the utility, ie. GoTo page 201.

Cybook needs to display the page numbers so myself and others can quickly find a place. Whether or not it is spot on, at least let me get close to my designated place. As it is now, I need another device which DOES display page numbers as an adjunct to using the Cybook.

If you have some pull with Bookeen, I hope you will use it Harry to urge them to include page display in the next upgrade.

To totally obscure with non-germane information in a verbose manner, with the intent to provide a non-answer, and provide total befuddlement.
Any politician worth his salt is an artist in obsfucation.

Government bureaucrats are masters of obsfucatory behavior.]
