Thanks for the replies. Yes I know to press Menu. I keep hoping that one of my new books will have page numbers rather than just location numbers. I definitely don't think it is as prevalent as Amazon thought it would be. Even pseudo page numbers would be much better than location numbers. Location numbers are too big to remember. For example, it is easier to remember you are on page 105 of 700 than it is location 2458 of 15046. Smaller amounts are easier to remember, at least for me. So i wish Amazon would come up with formula to estimate page numbers like ADE does. Perhaps divide the locations by 20 or 25. As long as they remain consistent among devices so you can easily find your position in the book, anything would be better than those large location numbers IMO.
