I disagree.

But, seriously, while it's obviously important to enough users that Amazon added it, to me it's like having extra page numbers at the bottom of a paperback book that correspond to some hardcover edition of the book.
I'm still open to being convinced that page numbers offer any advantage at all to the majority of users beyond "I'm used to seeing page numbers so I want to see them" but I just can't see it.

By the way...Under 3.1, has anyone seen the 'ranged locations' like '302-318 of 4050' as mentioned previously?

In the few days I've been reading with 3.1, I've been pressing menu now and then to check, and I have not seen them. Just a coincidence, or did they simplify the location display?
