I agree, Zach. It is not critical, but it would be very, very nice to have. I had the Rocket E-book and the Treo 650 with Palm Reader before I had the Sony Reader and, even for contemporary fiction, it is great to be able to check back on this or that character or event, especially in a mystery. I would say that, when I have the capability, I use it about 3 or 4 times every time I read a book.

One kind of work around in the Sony Reader is the history. It doesn't go back that far, but you can sometimes get back to an earlier place and find something.
