It really does seem as if they're either not flushing a write buffer or not moving the information from temporary to permanent storage on shutdown.

Have you tried hitting the power button without letting it go to sleep first? Now you have me curious as to whether or not it's format dependent.
I usually always hit the power button to force my nook to sleep, and that is without exiting the book I am reading. I just now exited the book I am reading, and shut down my nook. When I turned it back on I selected Reading Now and the book opened to the correct page. I had tested the highlight and note function and that was still retained. I now bookmarked that page.

I now shut off my nook at the furthest point read, without exiting the book. When I turned it on and selected reading now the nook again took me to the correct page. I selected Bookmarks and my new bookmark was there and it took me to the page I tested the highlight and note (which was also there).

Once again this a Fictionwise PDB DRM's book and my firmware is the older one 1.1.0.

I also suspect that it may be the format.

I will look for an Epub book to try also...

Just tried it with an Epub book I got from Feedbooks (No DRM).

The nook retains the furthest read page no matter if I turn it off at that page or exit the book. However, highlights, notes and bookmarks disappear on shut down both ways.

So for my firmware I retain the furthest read on Epub and lose bookmarks and highlights. On PDB books I retain everything.

So for me it looks like the problem is with the implementation of the Adobe Reader....
