True, but just the ability to mark a book as finished or not isn't too complex, and surely not too hard.

I used to use post-its as bookmarks but identifying pages you haven't read seems odd.

I'd use it in cases like these:
- technical manuals that I need to at least skim every page, but which I also read ahead to find information I need now
- books of short stories, where I let the kids choose which one they want next
I'm happy to accept that not so many people want to do this, so I'll be content with crossing the pages off with handwriting or something.
On the other hand, it's a godsend having the ebook remember which page I was on last for all these books, so why not make it even better?

How did you handle these things in paper books? A small notebook with a pencil seems the best solution at present.

I used to really wish there was a better way. Sometimes I'd mark the pages, but usually I'd either find I had no pencil or not want to mark the book.
But I shouldn't have mentioned the page marking idea, it's diverted attention form the real problem. I've got dozens of books on this reader and I'm not sure which ones I'm really finished with. Perhaps I should experiment with collections as andyh2000 suggests.
