My problem with locations is that I can't cite them for a paper in school-have to go to the library and find a paper book for that.

My other problem with the way they display location is the bar along the bottom. So, they have an arrow pointing at a spot on a bar. They also have the bar grey to a certain point, which is normally far beyond the arrow. I have never been able to figure out what the arrow means and the grayed-out part of the bar. They both move as I read a book, but at different paces. When I place a bookmark it puts a box in the bar, but frequently before either the arrow or where the gray part of the bar is. Does anybody get what I mean?

Also, considering how useless the bar and the location number both are, I would love to be able to erase them from the interface and get another line of text. I use the most condensed font in the smallest size, so it might actually fit. But I do like the percent read- I always just look up the number of pages on wikipedia before I start a book, and with that I can keep myself oriented.
