This is pretty much what my thought was - instead of 128 byte chunks of text, why not 1280 byte chunks of text and forget the decimal point? I think the problem is just that you end up with 4 digits for location and multiple locations per screen instead of 3 digits for pages which is easier to remember (for me at least)
I saw a thread a few months back that asked "when people ask what page number you are on, what do you tell them?" Since my reader uses epub which has page numbers that stay the same no matter what font size you use this question completely confused me. This explains that question for me.
