Look, I have no problem with "pages"... and I have no problem with "locations". I've used devices and software that use a variety of different of methods. None is better or worse than the other. Neither is valid to be used as a standard. I can (and have) adjusted to either with little trouble.

I just refuse to believe that epub's "pages" are better because they've stuck a nostalgic word in front of their arbitrarily determined character count.

Well "Pages" were never standard either, paper back page number is different than hardback page number for the same title etc. The reason pages are better is because it makes sense to people in an emotional way. Locations don't.
