ebook reader question

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to make a page on an ebook reader the same as a page of a printed book? What I mean is...

 

I have a big reference book, around 900 pages. I have notes on where things are in the book with the page number on where to find them. i.e: "X is on page 775".

 

I recently bought the ebook of it and when I go to page 775, X isn't there. Page 775 of the ebook is actually (part of) page 690. I can say without any exaggeration whatsoever that this is driving me to the brink of insanity.

 

How do I make page 775 of the ebook look the same as page 775 of the printed book? I have a Nook HD+. Please help me before I vent my rage on innocent people... :(

I'm a Kindle user (although I mainly use the Kindle app instead of my old, gen 2 device) and am not really familiar with the Nook. However, for a variety of reasons, I don't think it's possible. Sorry boo.

Although I guess you could play around with font sizing and margin widths to see if that can get you closer? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion.

Thanks for everyone's help. I read somewhere that the ePub format let's you make a personal index. That sounds like it could work so I'll look into it.
