Yes - sorry - was only after I hit return that I saw the other reply to that, and realised your focus was on the "ranged" aspect, not on locations per se.

If they have in fact eliminated those range displays, great, but I think they are a little too late...if they did it at the beginning...and especially if they labled them 'pages' instead of 'locations' like some other readers do... probably only a small handful of academics would have been asking for 'real' page numbers.
To be honest, I doubt it. I think for many it's simply a case of "I'm used to page numbers. I want page numbers!".

My comment was in response to what jocampo wrote, not aimed at you, ApK.
