No Mobipocket device including the Hanlin, Cybook, iRex offering actually supports an accurate jump to page. This is also true of all the PDA and even the PC implementation. They basically compute a guess as to the page number because there is no actual page number in the database. They use the length of the file to estimate a page number. If you read the book they update a counter so at that point the page number is accurate but they have no idea what the last page number is. If you jump ahead say 100 pages and compare that with what you get if you page forward to that same point you will not be on the same page number. Bookmarks are set to points in the file and not page numbers.
PDF is page oriented so page numbers are exact.
