Location numbers are assigned in lieu of page numbers for Kindle books. Since your personal choice of font, font size, words per line, etc. will change how much text is displayed on screen, actual physical page numbers are somewhat irrelevant. Amazon has substituted location numbers, which correspond to the % of text you have read/have left to read. So that, for example, if you start reading a book using very small font but finish it on a larger font, or with different settings, and stop reading, it's the location number that is stored. Thus, when you re-open the book, or if you sync to another reader, or a phone app, and load the same text, you will be restored to the location number where you stopped reading.
