Hi Gigi, Teresa is speaking about an iOS app: • Filer ($3.99) by Dan Leehr L.L.C. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/filer/id318884764?mt=8
It's a download app, but also lets you organize and play many formats of documents and multimedia files within then app, with the benefit of generally keeping your bookmark location. Also a handy way to transfer downloaded files so you can open them in other iOS applications. Theres a quite flexible web browser interface, with bookmarklets, too, as well as the ability to download directly from your Dropbox, etc. The nice feature is using this for documents reading and keeping your place. I don't know how to get around Teresa's question about the behavior of bookmarking for large files in Braille, though.
