Bookmarks placed from 2.1 or later will resume to the correct virtual page within the section on the iPad app, but the beginning of the section when viewed on the web/mobile web apps.

Customer Reviews
Still not PDF quality but mucho improved
This app used to be terrible but now it has gotten much better. Page turns, interface all improved etc. still needs a better search C,C++,C# all come up together.
Perhaps it doesn't seem worth 5 stars, but if you used the prior buggy version you owe yourself to try this one. Oreilly is putting more of an effort in and it shows.
Need single page view in landscape mode
The book text is so small in 2-page view
Convenient but cannot zoom text or figures
The app makes navigating the books very easy. The lack of being able to zoom in print fidelity books is a large drawback. I find I use the browser to read which awkward for page turning. Print quality is very readable but many figures need magnification.
