Thank you for your reply Susan.
On two other kindles in my house keyboard 3rd gens i think they are, page numbers display on all books, mostly side-loaded.

I don't find locations useful at all, actually I find them completely pointless. The number is meaningless to me and to anyone else that would pick up my kindle to see how far I am through a book.

I also don't understand under what intelligent design principle someone would put page numbers on top of a menu that needs to be tapped.

I work in engineering R&D and actually write documentation, so I feel quite knowledgable in user experience and documents, and I find this so frustrating. Same with a missing table of contents! to not have access to a book's table of contents you rightly purchased that has TOCs (I saw it on my sisters kindle) is just ridiculous.

If it wasn't for the nice screen and the fact my Nook first Gen is running out of juice, I'd return this lovely paperwhite.
