I lost my place while fiddling around a few times and I had to go page by page to get back to where I wanted to be and it was frustrating.

thanks for the update daffy ! it's been interesting following your experiences. just a note (to improve your reading pleasure
) i am also a fan of decent-sized margins (they make reading more pleasant and actually easier) : you can set whatever margin-size you like in epub books simply by adding that to the css. i usually define the margin on the body tag (this defines margins for the entire document unless they are over-ridden on a specific element). the css can look like this :
body {
margin : 5% 15px 5% 10%;}
you can use percentage (of the display area) or pixels to define your measurements for example but do NOT use ems to define your margins or they will increase when you enlarge the font size. i gave a margin for each of the 4 sides of the screen, the order is Top Right Bottom Left which you can remember with the mnemonic TRouBLe. i usually define about 15px right margin ; this leaves enough room to avoid the side page numbers interfering with the text, and since the text is left-aligned it will usually leave a bit of extra space there anyway so that is enough for me. for my personal taste i tend to like somewhat more space on the left side, maybe around 20px.
you can also define only one margin by specifying "margin-top" or "margin-left" or whatever. if you want to set the same margin on all four sides you can just put in one number :
body {margin : 10%;}
if you want to set the top and bottom the same and the left and right the same, you can put only two numbers in, top+bottom left+right so :
body {
margin : 10px 15px;}
that gives 10px for top and bottom, 15px for the sides.
as for search : you should get a sony 600.
epub, search, handwritten notes, dictionary... and a touchscreen for turning pages.
edit : in fact, since if i remember correctly you are using your own custom user css, you could add your margin code to that and it would be automatically applied to all your books.
