I just got the K3. I'm sure this has been discussed and is sought of touched on where Bezos is quoted about academic needs for paging. I mentioned this page/location to a friend who is active in book clubs - she wanted to know how you could discuss a quote from a page in a book with other members if you were using a kindle while they were using a pbook? At least, with the pbook, they could give you a snatch of a phrase and you could search for it but not the other way around. Seems that while Amazon and others might justify - that's the way it is due to font selection or line spacing - that does not meet the needs or desires of some/many/ readers.
And like others, I've taken part in support forums for other devices and the same questions get asked over and over. (you cannot imagine how many people wanted to know why Blackberries did not adjust for timezone changes - irritatingly repeated and always with the response/justification that it is a planned function that worked well and was unnecessary to change - you know what - Rim/Blackberry finally came around - you can have it your way - it is now an option). Maybe with enough repetitious questions Amazon might provide an option, too. If everyone just searches and sees that's the way it is, the head count never increases with dissent.
And while there is a search function in most forums (where no page reference is available (g)), I still think it is polite to answer the question and then send the person searching.
