'Objects In Space'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
So what I fail entirely to understand--if you flip forward in a "real" book to find the next chapter--why don't you just do that in an e-book? That's why I asked how you were doing it before, because I assumed it was some way (I couldn't fathom) that couldn't be duplicated electronically.
I don't really see the problem, especially considering it's easier to get back to where you were up to reading.
How? Maybe I'm not doing it right. I can go up to the next chapter, but the change in percentage doesn't really tell me how many "pages" I have left, and to get back to where I was I have to flip back manually page by page or go to the chapter I was in and flip forward manually.

Exactly. With a physical book you can put your finger on your current page while you flip forward to find the end of the chapter (or even to the last page of the book) and then mark that page with a bookmark, so you don't have to keep checking.
Do most of your books not show the fake page numbers, and P-C? You can also use the gesture to go to the next chapter then click the back button on the menu bar to return to your pre flip location. The back button is the only thing that kept me from throwing the Kindle touch at the wall ages ago, since I accidentally flip to the next chapter basically every other page.
The gesture? There are no fake page numbers on my kindle, only percentages. I've had my kindle for several years, so they may have changed it since then.
Books in my Kindle app have page numbers. I wonder why they did that differently?
You make a note of the page you're on, flip to the end of the chapter, and then Go To by page. Or you can bookmark where you are, I guess, if remembering the page number is above and beyond.
Why would you not do that?

But there are no page numbers.
And no bookmarking either?
You shoulda gotta Nook.
I think there is bookmarking, but I don't have the kindle in front of me right now. I like my kindle other than the page number thing, but I am perhaps a little too obsessed with know how many pages I have read, how many pages I have left, etc.
