I like Chapter Markers for a lot of the reasons stated as I also tend to like locations in conjunction with those reasons... i.e. it gives me an idea of how far I need to get to the next chapter, and/or it helps me to navigate to a short story as I like to read short stories when reading time is short (makes sense).
When reading print books, I was the guy who never used a bookmark but rather remember what chapter I was on and flipped to it each time I picked the book up. That actually worked quite well, and I've had to use it a couple of times with my Kindle when I've accidentally hit the BACK button too many times. Unfortunately, there have been times when I didn't have chapter markers and resorted to estimating my location number as best I could, based on percentage or last notice of a location number. These are times when those chapter numbers come in the most handy and useful.
