I hated it when a page was referenced in the book but the display of course was something entirely different. Looking up words using Google or Wikipedia right from the app is a nice addition as well.&nbsp;</p>

I updated, and then read the fine print that page numbers (may) work only with content formatted in the new format. Existing older books still keep the location nonsense ... although I am used-to it at this point. Oh well.
