I guess you could find the range, estimate what you thought was the section that you wanted, and then put that in the search field and see if you were right, and then back and forth until you got it right, and then do the same thing for the end of the section you're looking to cite, but that seems overly complicated. Unless there's some other way of determining the section that I don't know about...

Sure, but I think citing the range of locations is close enough. At most you'd have to read a couple of paragraphs further to find the right "place".
The biggest issue is that, of course, the person reviewing your citations may not have a Kindle to refer to. But then that's always been a known way to scam people on citations; few are ever checked, especially if they're in a suitably obscure location or in a foreign language.
