One arbitrarily chosen numbering system is as good as the next in my opinion. I'm quite adaptable. But if given a choice, I prefer the system that stays consistent across devices/apps regardless of any user customization such as font-sizes or words per line.
I just don't see much difference between page 40 of 350 and location 770 of 7000, especially when there's a percentage/progress bar (that even indicates where the chapter-breaks will occur).
And I don't remember ever being tripped up at all by locations when I bought my first Kindle. The system just seemed natural to me: accurate, specific, and universally independent of user settings. *shrugs*
