There are a couple of threads on the Kindle forum about the "location" vs "page numbering" question, which is getting interesting. Various theories as to why the Kindle does not show the Page xxx of xxxx instead of the location numbers.

I posted an inquiry as to why my Sony Reader does this in all four font sizes and in both portrait and landscope mode with no problem, while Amazon does not seem to be able to do it.

So far, no information on that, probably because not that many people have both.

Any ideas why Sony can do this but Amazon can't (or will not)?
