[GoodCompany]

Greetings. I started e-reading with the Sony PRS-350 Reader Pocket Edition (5" screen) which served me well for many years. A few months back I bought my first Kindle, the basic version, and am somewhat disappointed. I bought a Kindle as my reading habits run more to the niche market that Amazon caters to and Kobo does not. I thought it would be nice to not be converting and side-loading everything for a change, and the Kindle does have some features I thought I would enjoy and I do. I have one major frustration however. The Sony Reader gave you page numbers for every single book, small press or not, converted or not. I really don't like reading without some idea where I am in a book. Location 627 or 19% doesn't really cut it for me. Kindle does give you page numbers for mainstream books, but several of the last ones I've purchased have been without. Amazon say it's up to the publisher whether to include page numbers or not, but how did Sony figure out how to include page numbers on all books all those years ago and the developers at Amazon still haven't? So...my question is, do Nook or Kobo behave like the Kindle (some books have page numbers, some don't) or like the Sony? I haven't been on the forum for a while and just read about the Nook Glow 3 which definitely has me intrigued (Night Mode very appealing). I also just saw an article on a google search from 2013 where you could download apps for Kindle and Playstore on the Nook, but then saw something that contradicts that. Gosh that would be great. Do the new Nooks allow that? At any rate, if anyone can enlighten me on the Nook & Kobo page numbering issue, that would be swell. Many thanks!
