I'm in the "leave it at the end to remind me I read it" camp. I've written an app for reading image archives on PocketBook devices, and I recently got requests to allow it to be configured to automatically restart at the beginning next time the archive was opened. I originally had no idea such a feature was important to anyone. I implemented it because it was easy to do even though I thought few would use it, but I see now that this feature is much more popular than I thought. I can also say that, once you start implementing support for all these various preferences in an application, the latter stops being the 'simple' program that everyone thinks it ought to be.
