MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Can I get a witness? (To an e-book reader that won't lose your page!!)

Here's my dilemna: every reader I have owned is constantly losing my page and it takes me ages to try and find it again. I'm not even sure how it happens; sometimes when i get back to reading, it is off by a few pages... sometimes by dozens of pages or several chapters!

I am currently using the Sony PRS-600 (with a Sony cover), but the problem of losing the current page has also happened on my Sony PRS-T2 (with Sony cover), and my Kobo Glo (with Kobo sleepcover). I'm either looking for a solution to the PRS-600, or a reader in which *this won't ever happen*.

The PRS-600 is hacked, so I was able to disable all touches, and only implement swipes at the bottom of the screen (to turn pages). Doesn't matter, for today during a read, it went back some 200 pages, after I reopened the cover! The Kobo Glo has no buttons to interfere with the sleep cover, and an IR screen, so you'd think it would be immune to losing your page, but not even! Do I really need to go back to a paper-based readermajig, like some sort of caveman, to avoid this problem?
