Thanks for the information. I was unfamiliar with MTP. I saw that it could cause problems with book covers, but I assume that's been resolved now through Calibre. I didn't run across any mention of MTP and page numbers. I'll have to see if I can get used to locations again.

I wonder if this is something that will happen to the previous gen Paperwhite with a firmware update.
