Real page numbers
"The addition of real page numbers, however, is probably the most important, and most exciting, new feature in version 3.1. Up until now Kindle readers have suffered with “locations” in their e-books instead of pages. This makes sense, since e-books don’t actually have pages, but it can cause some trouble in a classroom setting or when you’re trying to figure out how much more you have to read in order to finish a book (“I’ll go to bed in a couple hundred more locations,” doesn’t quite roll off the tongue).
So, Amazon has now mapped page numbers from the physical edition of a book to its e-book counterpart, and that information now shows up on your Kindle. Amazon also lists the ISBN of of the edition used for the pagination information on the Kindle item’s product details for two reasons: first, to let people know the e-book has “real page” information and so that readers know which edition those page numbers come from." |
I have a kindle white. How do I enable this feature? I can't seem to find it in the settings menu.
Thanks!
