BUG: Missing pagination in Vyrso books

so I might be missing some other feature in Kindle that you are referring that is truly a fixed location marker.
Hey Andrew, I'm just getting my feet wet with the Kindle Fire, but there are two ways to mark where you are at, one is with a "page marker" and then it also has a line on the bottom with a percentage of where you are at when in the change mode (not sure what to call it, when you can select stuff from the device itself).
I recently purchased a kindle book, and now wish I would have gotten hard copy... when in my reading group from church, everyone with a hard copy can go to their notes and say what page they're on... by the time I figure it out with the Kindle the hour is up [:(] . Again, I purchased a Vysor book for the Kindle and didn't check to see if it had page numbering... totaly useless when I meet with a young man I'm mentoring (back to the hard copy). I guess Amazon, and Vyrso are somewhat alike in their thinking, it's Ok for pleasure reading, but when trying to use the resource for anything else, it's useless!!!
I've stopped buying Vyrso books because of this reason, and am not getting any more Kindle books for the same reason. I'm enjoying my Logos resources, because they DO have page numbers!
Agreeing with all the folks that want some kind of page/reference number when purchasing Vyrso books!!

It should be noted that Kindle books without page numbers can still be cited by location, but Vyrso books lack this kind of system as well. EPUB format for Vyrso needs to provide us some point of reference. When I am doing a book study with others and want to discuss a quote, I'd rather not have to say, "You can find it a little past halfway through the 25-paged-chapter." Unfortunately, I've had to say such ridiculous things already because of this problem.
In Logos you can copy the location for Vyrso books (it's in the resource pull down) if they own the book it should take them to the specific location.

So if you're sitting in a small group discussing a particular book and want to direct them to a particular passage, you intend to copy the url, e-mail it to the other members of the group, and wait for them to get it and click it? That's going to hamper the discussion a bit, don't you think? [:P] (Not to talk about the fact that it requires everyone to use the Vyrso version, and to have access to the internet during discussions.)

You could post the location of what you are going to discuss in the group's page before you meet.

Exactly. You were responding to people who were in small group discussions with others using paper books, and who had huge problems because the others had page numbers while they didn't. And your solution was to copy the url and post it on Faithlife...
