Hello together,
I have followed this thread quite a while and learned a lot about page numbers in E-Books and their reliability. thanks for all the explanations.

But there is still one issue that i can not really follow:

I learned that ADE page numbering is not reliably in all Reader exactly the same and not useful for quoting. But what if the user does not use it for quoting but for simply switching easily from one Reader to the other. When having calm time to read i use the sony because ist much more convenient that a smart phone.

But to get over waiting time (eg on Airports etc) i use Marvin on my iphone. On my old phone both had ADE pages and so it was easy to find the spot you stopped reading before. With Marvin it's a bit more complicated.

As much as i do understand the limitations of reliability of ADE page numbering, why is it so difficult to let each user decide for himself what he likes to use it for.
An Option for ADE page numbering with Information about the limitations would be ok.
At the moment Marvin is doing my decisions by simply not supporting the Feature.

I would highly appreciate to have the Option because the limitations do not touch my usage. And i think there are a lot of users who feel the same.

Best regards
Peter

P.S.: It is not at all my Intention to be rude, so if my limited english skills led to rude statements, i apologise for it.
