Honestly I could care less about page numbers either way. That doesn't affect my reading experience in any way, shape, or form. I certainly don't measure my success in life by comparing what page number I'm on with the other guys.
But then, I'm not using Marvin to study text books or research or anything like that. I'm using it to
read books. I get to see the little progress bar at the bottom of the screen if I ever care to see how far I've read or if I should finish reading that last bit of the book before going to sleep. In the menu it tells me what % of the book I've read. And I have the ability to remember what chapter I ended on, if Marvin ever hiccoughs and loses my place (which hasn't happened to me). So, whatever...
I also agree that not showing embedded fonts in Marvin's formatting is not optimal. However, as I previously mentioned when discussing the purpose of this thread, Marvin ignores a goodly portion of the embedded css in order to manage all the options it provides. If you don't like that, then use publisher's layout and you will get exactly what you asked for.... my small request of Kris would be to allow the user to choose publisher's layout as the default for
all books instead of having to turn it on for each one individually. If he doesn't agree, then Marvin is
still the best ereader out there, and I'm not going to waste time and effort endlessly pointing out what functions I wish were better....
