Jon....not everyone WANTS to use an ADE based reader even if they could.... I'm sure there are many reasons for this...thus the selection of different platforms.
Regardless, you aren't going to get everyone to follow your preferences...even if you
COULD make the perfect argument for their use...and everyone here agreed with your preferences

not everyone reads MR

so your message won't reach everyone.
Please accept the fact that ADE is not the end-all, be-all, of ereaders and move along. We really don't need to read
another thread where you insist that ADN based RPN is the only valid solution. It is A solution that has some merit, but there are others with equal merit...including the solution that ebook page numbers are irrelevant... with links and ToC and search functions it's redundant, at best, to have a "page number".
Thanks!
