Please forigve me if this topic has been broached a thousand times before since the release of the Kindle.

I do not understand the Locations system. To what do the numbers correspond? Is there any way/hack/anything to translate these locations into conventional page numbers.

The Kindle seems like a fine device. However, in the instance of page numbers it would seem that Sony has the upper hand. At least when I have a more conventional system (i.e. 17 of 405 -or whatever) I get some idea of how far I am in the book in question. The location system is gibberish to me at this time.
