Hmmm, I've never noticed that much variation. Usually it's more like 6-8, depending on how much white space is on the screen.
I'm not crazy about locations myself, but it does generally let me know with some basic math that I can do in my head easily how many page clicks I have until the end of the book.
Which actual book pages doesn't accomplish. And percentage by itself is just completely worthless (and redundant, you can see that by the bar). Why they just can't tell you how many clicks is beyond me. Seems like it would be easy to calculate, and more readily useful.
