So I'm in a Kindle book, if I hit "bookmark" I see Loc 768.

I go to the next page and see it is at Loc 788.

So it seems like if I GOTO Location 778, it should start (approximately) at the middle of what the page looked like from when I was at Loc 768, right?

But no...it renders the same view as what I saw at location 768.

In other words...location is supposed to be more precise than pages, yet it still "rounds" your desired GOTO location to a page of sorts?

This is on Kindle Voyage and happens with multiple books, so apparently not a per-title issue.

Anyone know how to do what I'm aiming at? (I'm basically wanting to get an exact link to an "exercise" in a book that I might refer to again in the future.)
