If one places a paper bookmark in a pBook, one has TWO PAGES bookmarked, the left and right of the paper marker. If one folds the corner of a page in a pBook, one again has two pages marked, the front and back pages. One still does NOT know what paragraph he ended and where to begin.

Using Amazon locations. one marks the EXACT WORD of where one left off reading an eBook.

If one uses pages in Sony eBooks, one's page bookmark can cover from two to ten SCREENS of information. Its pure luck or memory for one to find out there where one left off reading.

For avid readers the Amazon Kindle location beats pages hands down.

After using locations on my Kindle WiFi I could never go back to using pages again. They are OBSOLETE.

If schools used Kindles as mandatory eReaders to save on the cost of paper textbooks, LOCATIONS would be an EXACT way of directing students where to read for their assignments. Chapters and pages would then become irrelevant.
