Reading mobi, epub formats reader in calibre doesn't remember the place in which I finished and even if I saved a bookmark, it gets changed to another place (a little over half a book or some other place). I just started the book, I never got to the chapter it says I stopped/bookmarked.
Before it always opened in place I stopped, now I cannot find the place even if I bookmarked it. Update didn't help. Please help, this is my favorite ebook reader on PC (have other but they suck in usability). Thanks for all the help. Update: just did some testing. The problem is with mobi files, epub works Last edited by Noughty; 08-31-2011 at 01:06 PM. |

Convert to ePub and read that. This behaviour may be because the reader converts to ePub internally, anyway, and saves the last page read inside the ePub. As far as I know (and/or suspect), that converted copy gets thrown away after you close the reader, so I don't think bookmarks would transfer to the MOBI file.

Thanks for the info.
Not the best solution, but at least something. Hope mobi will be supported as well as epub later on. At least converting is easier than from pdf (no titles, authors in every page) |

Install the Kindle for PC application and setup mobi files to open in the K4PC app and it will bookmark your position in the mobi the same as calibre's viewer does for ePub books. |

Well, I have the same problem. I have a Sony PRS 300 and the bookmark doesn´t work. It works when I go to another book and then come back to it, but when I shut down the device, the bookmark completely disappears. I have to look for the book and the page that I´ve been reading. All the files are pdf files (if this is important to mention). I have had it for a year an this is the first time that it has a problem. Can you help me, please?
Thanks a lot |

Thanks for your quick reply. I must tell you that the bookmark is working properly. I don´t know what happened. I opened the device today and the bookmark was there. I marked other pages of books, shut it down and open it again twice and they were there. Sorry to bother you but I had had this problem for several days. Let´s see what happens next! Anyway, thanks for your politeness.

Well, lately it doesn't work with epub too. Neither bookmarks nor the place I stopped reading in calibre ebook reader.
I have no idea how to read epubs after a pause. Looks like I'll have to write down the place I stopped just like with pdfs ![]() |

Are you, then using the little arrow next to the button to retrieve the bookmark? (works EPUB 8.23 on XP) Note bookmarks may not work (reliably/at all) across different reading devices/programs. Everyone seems to do it their own way ![]() |

This is on V0.8.23. I think it was happening on the previous version. If I remember, I'll check another computer tonight that should still have 0.8.21. |

Font sizes can cause variance in the exact bookmark position. That's a limitation of how the bookmarks work (they stored as a fractional position, and the exact position the fraction points to can change with font size, the amount it changes depends on the structure of the book).
