Thanks for your answers. I am aware of the difference between
pages and positions and why such a differentiation is necessary.

However, let me rephrase my question:

How can I derive the kindle "positions" for a certain chapter starting from the source html? I learnt from the forum that the positions are incremented in 128 byte steps. But how does this translate into the source html code? Can you come up with an equation about how to calculate a position starting from html? Does compression also play a role?

Thanks,

Jens
