What you are referring to is the location. It doesn't change with the text size. A location x is a fixed distance from the beginning of the file.

I have purchased text books and other references on my Kindle but I do not know what the proper citation in a formal paper would be? Does anyone know how to cite from Kindle?
I would use one of the standard citation styles and replace the page number with:

Kindle Edition x(location number)
