Of course they do. "Locations 840-47 of 14780" gives you precisely the same amount of information as would "Page 23 of 472".

The only "use" they have is for someone who wants to tell you how many bytes or whatever you are through the book.

No. Their primary purpose is to allow you to give a reference within a book. You can refer someone to the text at location 1250, and that will be invariant regardless of what font size someone has selected, or whether they are reading on a K2, K3, or DX (all of which display different amounts of text on the screen).

They are a complete and utter nonsense.

I understand that you don't like them, but please don't extend that to an automatic assumption that the rest of the world shares your views!
