I agree! Chapters --and sections-- definitely help and I'm for using them whenever possible. I was just comparing the relative merits of "Locations Vs. Screen counts."

that question, I don't think they're equally no help, for the reason I gave:
A ratio of screens views to paper pages can be calculated. A ratio of bytes to paper pages cannot be calculated.
It isn't a deal breaker; I'm very happy with my Kindle
I just wish they'd give me the page option, like I wish they'd give directories and epub support.
I understand no epub, but the only thing I can see locations being better at is locating a word or sentence inside an exact matching file version of title. It's not like the 100 editions of Pride and Prejudice will have consistent locations.
