You know presumably that the kindle remembers what pages you were on in EVERY book in the device even if the Kindle is shut down.
I still think the original e-Ink Kindles are a masterpiece of design and unbeatable in terms of what they do and offer. The subsequent designs which were aimed at sticking a foot in the tablet/iPad market took the device the wrong way imo. The simple e-Ink reading device that was thin, light, could be read in bright sunlight and had stand-by battery life in the order of months was the "iPod" of the reading devices and still is.

Re: Kindle ebook reader.
I don't know if I mentioned, but I also have one of the e-ink kindles. Mine has 3G that I thought would be good for accessing emails. Well it does but it is so slow that it was a waste of time.My Paperlight I find is lighter and I don't need extra illumination when reading in bed.
As for power saving, I do make sure that airplane mode is off after I have downloaded any books.
