I started reading a book on my 17" Laptop PC and trying to continue reading on my 7" tablet was a chore in hitting the next page button until I recognized my place in the story. Seems like it shouldn't be that difficult once the reader opens the book to seek in the file someplace at least close to where the reader left off.

The page number is not what is stored because that would not work at all. It stores what percentage of the book you read so far.
