I probably was too unclear in my first post, but I think your example doesn't reflect what I meant. Or maybe we organize our books differently.
I don't know about you but I have a folder for every author. So in my fantasy folder I can have many pages of folders for different authors.
When I've finished a book I normally delete it from my e-reader. If it was the last book in its folder I may want to delete the folder too.
Suppose I've finished my last remaining George RR Martin book which is in my "George RR Martin" folder on page 10. First I delete the book. Then I leave the George RR Martin folder and I end up on page 1 in my Fantasy folder. Now I have to go back to page 10 to delete the "George RR Martin"-folder.
And another example. Suppose I want to take a "stroll" among my History books (+30 pages of folders) in my "History" folder. The books that I find interesting I open to take a quick peek. Now every time after opening a book and then going back to "History" folder to continue my little stroll, I end up on page 1 again.
So, to sum up, it's just that, based on my own e-reader behaviour I think this is a little bit annoying. As long as you don't open the book you can go inside a folder and back again - then you will come back to the same page. But if you have opened the book - well sorry, when you leave the books folder you will be transported back to page 1. I find that inconsistent.
Instead, I would like to argue that you should always end up on the same page where the folder you just left is located. Does that make sense?
But others, with another behaviour, and another way of organizing their books, may find the current arrangement more functional. I don't know.
However, now I have raised the question.
