But that's just it. You don't take one marker out of a book and put a new one in. You just move the marker you have already from where you picked up, to where you left off.
The same should be true of window-eyes place markers. My client is 8. She's not really interested in the mechanics of place marking. I can teach her what the various options do, but she isn't going to fool around with a two step process of emersion into a dialog box just to mark her place in a book. There has to be a better way.
