Ester,
This is excellent! Can you please show me where to go to do my search
feature like you were describing? I was completely unaware that option was
available.

Subject: Re: Three Questions about IBooks
Hi Chris,
The page numbering in iBooks does not correspond to the numbering of the
print edition, but instead depends on the font size and margin settings
you employ when reading in iBooks. (You may have access to the physical
page number when reading in the Kindle app, if this has been implemented
for the eBook version you are reading.). I don't think there's a way to
find out the physical page in iBooks, especially since this would be
different according to whether you refer to a paperback or hard cover
edition of the book. A better way for your Mom to tell you about the
section she wanted to share would be to give the chapter (if there is
one), and then quote a beginning sentence or part of a passage and let you
use the search function to find the passage in question. After all, how
many people call up others to describe an exciting passage and expect the
other person to have exactly the same edition of the book with the same
page numbering?
You can turn off auto-hyphenation in Settings > iBooks by setting the
auto-hyphenation switch to "off".
If you don't want to read continuously, why don't you use a three finger
flick left to start reading the next page instead of using the page
chooser? That will get you the next page (or previous page, if you swipe
right) read without reading the title header, since focus is in the page
content. When you use the page chooser, you are moving focus outside the
page content.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther
