It took quite a while to ignore the lack of page numbers and just use the percentage indicator (the bar is nice but hard to see at times).
I can see the need for Locations in order to pinpoint a specific passage - but it has to be paired with a specific file type and provider (listing the total locations helps). It doesn't help if you've edited the text in some way, which is fair enough.
But since I'm not doing citations, for the most part I just use them to tell me how far into a book I am and how much more I have to go. Why do I need to know where I am - not sure, but its probably less of a concern the better a book is... The percentage/bar works for this so I'd rather not see the Location information (but it would be good to have it available when pressing Menu - like the time is shown when pressing Menu).
I occasionally wonder if the page numbers should just be the number of screens you've read and how many are left - and have this change depending on font/orientation. It might be more relevant to know how many page clicks there are left. Useless for reference, but not for the current reading session. I know I definitely don't like it when page/location/other numbers don't change when you've clicked forward (like when viewing PDFs with their own page numbers) - its as if you haven't moved anywhere. Percentage numbers have this issue, so I just try to ignore it and get on with the reading.
