If you've ever read an online magazine, after PDF, it's likely you leafed through one powered by Texterity. Coverleaf has a bunch of examples and one I checked out recently is the Costco Connection. I've found Texterity mags pretty straightforward and don't have any insidious quibbles with the format, but how to link to a page is unobvious. Turns out the answer is quite simple; just head for the Share button, as shown here:
Interestingly, the same principle works on other formats too, like transhumanist h+ magazine's Flash format, where the option is represented by a Digg icon and called "Social bookmark this page". From there, if you click the Google icon, it'll show you the page URL.
On YouTube, nemoDaedalus helpfully notes:
Same as with Google Maps (not Earth, Maps!), once you got a nice view and want to share that, you have to click the not-so-easily-found Link-button.
Looks like a number of independent content presenters should make their direct links clearer!

Torley, thanks for sharing this tip on sharing pages in the Texterity digital edition. Good news! In our new release of the user interface being rolled out, the "share" function is much easier to use. And, the URL line that appears in the browser always will contain the page number!
@Cimarron Thanks for blogging about this too! EXCELLENTE!
Hi Torley. Thanks always for awesome news^^
