I just tested this and it does work. This is different than what the manual says and works differently than the other formats, which is OK by me but the manual should be changed to reflect this.
The manual says:
Add Bookmark:
Press number keys 1~5 to directly add bookmarks.
Replace Bookmark:
If the current number key you want to use as the bookmark is already used, you may press and hold the current number key for 3 seconds, then the previous page with bookmark will be replaced by the current page.
Clear Bookmark:
Go back to the page with bookmark; press the number key to clear the bookmark.
Per the post above, I have not had an issue with the reboot (maybe once, but not sure what I was clicking on). I have found it very stable.
I have found that the MOBI PRC format does seem to "lose the page" place on occasion or mess up the page numbers. At least I think, but maybe I am seeing things. For example, the book I was reading I swore said page 520/550 so I thought I was almost done, but I thought that odd at the time because I didn't think I was almost done. Later after I exited and then re-entered I was on page 440 or so. At least I think, but I could have read the page number wrong. I will try to verify this. This looks like an issue with the MOBI PRC format and not the reader. In fact, from the little I have read, it says that PRC format has issues with this and that FB2 is better at this, which the EZ reader does support.
One thing that should probably be added to the manual (maybe it would be possible to provide online updated versions of the manual, even with an FAQ section) is one of the "issues" I did have. I went to lunch and took my reader with me and even though the menus were coming up and the page was displaying, none of the menu features/paging would work. I thought "Oh no!". Problem was that I had accidentally bumped the SD card and it was not fully seated. So what I thought was a serious issue was a simple user problem.
I am completely happy with the EZ Reader and just like my IPOD, once I took that step and purchased one, it is now something I cannot live without.
