Wrong. Sony page numbers are ADE page numbers. 97-98 of 300 means part of the screen is 97 and 98 starts on the 98. 98 overlaps to the next screen and 99 starts on that screen so you get 98-99 of 300. When you go to page 98 with ADE page numbers, you go to where page 98 starts. That means on a Sony you go to the same page as you do on a Kobo, nook, ADE, and any other app/Reader that uses ADE page numbers. Kindles only work with Kindles and Kindle apps. ADE page numbers are much more versatile as they work with different apps and brands. With Kobo, you also get %. I don't know if the new nook also gives you %. But, % doesn't tell you where you are in an eBook all that well. 30% of a 300 (ADE page numbers) is different than 30% of a 400 page eBook. 98-99 of 300 is an indicator. 98-99 of 400 is an indicator. Once you get used to ADE page numbers, it's pretty easy to tell where you are and how much left you have.
