Because you're a geek. (And I don't mean that in a bad way – I'm a geek myself. But I like to think of myself as "geek with common sense", which is likely an oxymoron.)

But ask any non-geek reader of books if pages are superfluous while reading books. Oh no, sir! They'd think you're crazy to even ask a question like that, and rightly so. Why has there been so much backlash against Kindle's abstract "locations"? No doubt, it's largely because non-geek book lovers just love page numbers – they love them so much they're even willing to swallow Amazon's current sorry excuse for "page" numbers (cross-referencing e-book page-numbers to an arbitrarily chosen printed edition – what could be more irrelevant in the digital, e-book age?).

No – it's because I'm an extremely busy person, and I have not a minute to spare to talk about non-essential things. In my post #38 above, I've just explained what I find to be essential in this discussion, and that everything else is unimportant. I apologize I lack the time to debate non-essential ramifications of this debate. If you, for starters, send $100 to my PayPal account, hiring me to chat with you about irrelevant things, I'm willing to consider that option. I might kick one of my clients in the ass and chat with you instead. But as it is, the day only has 24 hours, unfortunately, so I apologize again.
