Amazon lists the ISBN of the print edition from which the page numbers originate in the Kindle e-book details, which is how you can tell if a particular e-book supports real pages or not. (This information isn’t listed on e-books which don’t offer real pages.)

Tracking reading progress on the iPhone is easier now that the app displays the percentage of the book that you’ve completed. Both the iPhone and iPad now display how far along you are in each of your books on the home screen when in list view.

A working table of contents allows readers to go directly to chapters or sections by clicking links in the table of contents (TOC). This feature is so important to Kindle customers that Amazon requires all Kindle eBooks with chapters or sections to have a working TOC.
