Well *I'm* not bookmarking my current page, but was responding the questions above about pushing the little button on the back and the implications:

I know, that resetting (the small button on the back) the cybook will do that - but are there any negative aspects doing so? (memory loss???)

I was just pointing out that if you bookmark the page before hitting 'reset' you can go back to where you were in your eBook without loosing your spot, if indeed you wanted to. Occasionally I do place a bookmark just before I stop reading. This is a holdover from older firmware which failed to remember where I was, or record bookmarks, if I read for too long. Achieving bookmark is a positive sign to me, it lets me know that my Cybook hasn't forgotten how and will remember where I am when I get back. Again, with the 796 firmware this hasn't been an issue.

Not the same as the BeBook either. I have to say that other than Dictionary support and font sizes the Cybook isn't my favourite eBook Reader anymore.
I *Love* the standby feature and folder support on the BeBook. I am still dreaming of getting folders from Bookeen, I don't dare dream of a standby feature being added.
