What are you talking about? It's always some location out of some other number. If it's location 1200 of 12000, you're about a tenth in.

"Page 132" also means nothing if you don't know how many pages there are.

Similarly, about the end matter, I've been similarly surprised at how many pages were left after "finishing" a paper back. Unless you flip through the book first, and see how much and matter there is and what page the book ends on, it's the same as the kindle. And similarly, you can flip to the end of a book on the Kindle and see where the main part ends if that matters to you.
