This seems like a good place to ask: How do people read long web based books like this without losing their place? I usually look for ebooks just because my ebook reader will remember what page I was on. I used to use bookmarks for this, but I use 4 different computers on a regular basis (two laptops, a tablet, and a phone). Instapaper / pocket work ok, but then if I add a bunch of links I’ll forget about the older ones. Solutions?
When you finish a reading session, copy the sentence or couple of sentences you’re on and store it somehow. (I usually text it to myself, since I’m most likely to be reading on my phone.) When you start reading again, do a search for that text.
You do sometimes have to look for a sentence that isn’t repeated frequently. If you store someone’s catchphrase then this is less helpful, but I usually have an easy time spotting those.
