Mine remembers the location in books partially read but does not remember the last read book.
I have a penchant for short stories and these generally come wrapped up in collections. Since these collections are generally single author or single theme I rarely want to read them cover to cover without interspersing stories from other collections or some longer work. As a result, I bounce around between 2-3 short story collections, occasionally inserting a longer work into the loop.
With my Kindle Keyboard I simply turn it on and the last read page in the current book is open. With ebook-viewer, and the other acceptable ebook reader apps I've tried on my Win8 tablet, force me to do work a computer should do, that is I have to remember which book I was reading and have to manually open the book.
Manually opening the book is a pain in ebook-viewer as I have to access the context menu (much easier with the recent fix to support the Press-and-Hold touch action to replicate a Right-Mouse-Click) and navigate the tiny menu, opening the wrong book 1 out of 3 times because the entries are too close together. True, it is usable, but it is not comfortable.
