Mobi Reader is "stateless" - it does not maintain a parse tree in memory, as an ePub device does. When you follow a hyperlink, it starts rendering from the jump destination point onwards. The concept of jumping to a "screen page" is therefore meaningless in a Mobi book - all you can do is jump to a specific location in the text. However, given that every implementation of the Mobipocket Reader that I know of has a "back" facility for returning from a jump to an endnote (which DOES take you back to the page jumped from) it's an entirely moot point; there is no reason to use a link to return from an endnote in a Mobi book. Indeed, most Mobi books do not even HAVE back links.

But you know all this as well as I do - why try to pretend otherwise.? Is this simply the latest episode in your eternal anti-Amazon tirade, Jon?
