Having both ADE devices and a Kindle, my personal preference is for the Kindle's locations, due to their finer granularity. As you know, an ADE page will generally extend over several "screens" on a reader, so giving someone a page reference won't ensure that they're looking at the same text that you are. The finer-grained locations on the Kindle generally don't have that issue.
I hear ya, but I guess to each his own. When read my first book on my friends kindle, before I bought any ereader, I found the the location to be an odd distraction. I prefer the page number style of display, even if some it takes a couple of screen pages to complet a page.
though there are different factors such as text size that can reduce the number of screens per page.

I do find reading on the 7 inch nook color screen I'm finding it to change page numbers with less screen changes.

IDK, page numbers just seems more natural than "locations".
