Ok - due to the fact that I can't and never will be able to borrow ebooks from my local library on my ipad I have recently given in and started buying ebooks.

I have to say, the reading experience to me on ibooks is so much better than it is on kindle app. I love the fact you can clearly see what page you are on, how many pages left, and how many to the end of the chapter.

It feels much more like reading a book rather than pages of text as it does on the kindle app, if that makes sense.

One of the things i cant get to grips with is this location thing on kindle. I mean can someone explain to me why that makes sense? We have been using page numbers for ever and now Amazon want to change it? I am not sure how locations work. Can anyone enlighten me?
