However, not every e-book is in kindle format. Actually most of digital documents are PDFs.
Lately, I am reading an e-book that has 1200 pages! A e-door-stopper. It is in PDF format.
I have to turn off my PC every night, otherwise it will intermittently make high-pitch beeps like a hot smoke detector. My Adobe Reader 9 doesn't have a bookmarking feature. So whenever I open the 1200-page PDF, I have to recall where I was, and click through the "Table of Contents" jungle to resume what I left. (Some PDFs even don't have a Table of Contents! Why author, why?!)
Although this little search 'task' doesn't sound difficult, it annoys me every time. It annoys me so much that today I jumped out my chair and finally decided to end my suffering. I Googled. The keyword is "Adobe reader bookmark". It turns out I've been such a fool for so many years.
The solution is so easy, and yet I haven't found or bothered to find it until today. You don't need to install any addon for Adobe Reader, which I thought would be the case. Just go to "Edit" menu, and choose "Preferences". In the dialog box, select the "Documents" category. Now check the "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option. Done.
Like what the option is described, it makes Adobe Reader jump to the location where you left last time. Of course, unlike Kindle clients, it won't sync PDF copies on different PCs. But this little feature is good enough for me. I don't have to remember the last page nor I have to click through the Table of Contents. The continuous reading experience feels so good :)
