I love too how it keeps your place without you having to put in any sort of electronic bookmark, AND if you need to access it on another device it will tell you where you stopped and ask if you want to resume from there.

Wonderful contraption. Now, if only they could make some device that would allow me to somehow communicate with people who are not within shouting distance, why, that would be amazing.
