That is indeed the obvious use for them. My point is, however, that the bug in the Mobi "engine" makes such references useless. Suppose you're reading a book, going through it a page at a time, and you note that something happens on page 99. You later re-open the book and you think "I'll look at page 99 again". So you select the "Goto page" function and type in "99". You don't end up where you were - you could be dozens of pages away from it!
