Hey,

I'm just wondering how exactly the locations are calculated? I'm wondering because I am reading The Hobbit and Dorian Gray simultaneously and happened to spot that the actual books have 220 and 320 pages each, but the same number of locations. Is that due to different printing in the actual books?

Also, I don't quite get the status bar quite yet. What are the black triangles? Why are chapters sometimes marked nicely with dots and sometimes they are not (in my Hobbit they are but in Dorian Gray they are not)?

Thanks a lot for the help, and sorry if this was asked before at some point.
