For me I love my new Kindle WiFi and every feature in it.
That's not the point, this discussion is about pages vs locations. Nothing to even do with percentages which is what you brought up and which I think is kinda weird. I agree with foghat in that percentage says nothing about how much or how little in absolute terms you have read or have left to read so in that sense it is meaningless. ( and I really don't believe you actually calculated this for paper books) Percentage is relative term whereas locations and pages are absolute since they are based on specific character counts. To each his own though.
