When Kindle 3.1 firmware announced it was only including page numbers for purchased/ISBN linked books I thought it was good, but not so great for a lot of my books (maybe I should get some more ISBN's entered), so I didn't bother upgrading.
But when I saw the other day that Calibre added approximate page numbers for other books I downloaded and gave it a try. Its great. OK, its not perfect, but its surprising accurate when I tried it for a random book. And even if its not a one for one match for the physical book it doesn't matter. If I could I think I'd rather have screen X out of screen total for the font size I'm using but this is close enough.
The benefit over the locations is that its just easier to 'get' where you are in a book and how large the book is. And for reference, the locations are still there. I like hiding it behind Menu as well, although as someone else mentioned, having the number % moved down onto the same line as the bar would be even better.
