Currently reading New York by Edward Rutherfurd which I purchased on 11/15/2009. It currently resides on my Mac and I can read it on the old eReader app for Mac, Palm and iPhone. It's also on my iPod Touch and my nook running under B&N's eReader app. It's also from time to time updating both the iPod Touch and the nook with my furthest reading page. I'm on page 1230 of 1852 on the nook which equates to page 2763 of 4154 on the iPod Touch. I don't have the paper copy, but the B&N site says the hardcover is 880 pages. I've found my interaction with B&N over these issues to be rather adventurous. I've been playing with ebooks for over 10 years (I still own my Rocket ebook that I purchased from B&N) so I'm usually pretty careful with how I utilize the devices I own. By the way, every ebook I've purchased is backed up on my MacBook Pro, my Time Machine backup device and on my MobilMe data folder on the internet. The nook is probably the seventh or eighth device I've used to read digital books so I tend be rather conservative knowing that bumps appear in the digital highway frequently.

Thanks for the tip, Doug. Called customer service at B and N twice, they admit there is a problem, but just said to reinstall ereader, which as you know does not solve it!
