I've read this thread with interest.
Firstly I found the "locations" awkward or strange. Now I see that it is a perfect (electronic) adaption to (paper) pages. You get an absolute reference, no matter of size and/or formatting of the book. 2001 words and 3 letters into the book is still 2001 words and 3 letters regardless of the font being big bold size 17,2 or small unbold size 8.

Page numbers in an eBook relates to me the same way as if I ask someone how far it is from Oslo to Trondheim and they answer "9 hours". It gives me nothing. How would I know the driving skills and average speed of the person asked? Is it by lorry, motorcycle or car? Or at foot? If I was informed it was 580 km, I would then know *exactly* how far it would be, regardless of veichle used.
