Every night, I read until I fall asleep. Literally. I've been doing this since I was a small child. One of the great things about e-readers is that I don't have to search for my page every morning when I wake up.
If I'm waiting for something, (doctor's office, public transportation, whatever) I read until I have to stop. How would the "stop at the end of the chapter" thing work? When I'm in a waiting room at the doctor's office, I never know how long it's going to take, so how would I know when to stop reading? I just read until the doctor is ready to see me, then I stop wherever I am.

"Having to stop" is different then "choosing where to stop". For example, if I'm waiting at the dentist and they call my name on time (or within reason), I will stop immediatly, if they make me wait, I'll finish the paragraph (or next one if I'm close to a page break.
If I hear "dinner's ready", I'll finish the page and paragraph.
Using common sense and evaluating your situation usually works for me.
