The ePub standard calls for a "marker" every 1000 words or so. It was done like that to avoid the problems created by different screen sizes and our ability to change font sizes. User changes like that make the book reader reformat the same text for every person. They wanted some way for everyone to be able to reference the same spot in the text.
