You can use that to go right where you want to go, where page numbers get you fairly close. The advantage of that is that it remains constant regardless of font size or margins.
Like you I found them confusing and unintuitive at first but once I learned what they were and got used to them they became more meaningful than page numbers.Īs I recall a location is 128 character spaces in the book, including invisible characters for formatting. I think it's worth getting used to using locations and percentages as they're really a lot more relevant in ebooks. Do the new Nooks allow that? At any rate, if anyone can enlighten me on the Nook & Kobo page numbering issue, that would be swell.

I also just saw an article on a google search from 2013 where you could download apps for Kindle and Playstore on the Nook, but then saw something that contradicts that.
HOW TO GET PAGE NUMBERS ON KINDLE FIRE 8 HOW TO
Amazon say it's up to the publisher whether to include page numbers or not, but how did Sony figure out how to include page numbers on all books all those years ago and the developers at Amazon still haven't? So.my question is, do Nook or Kobo behave like the Kindle (some books have page numbers, some don't) or like the Sony? I haven't been on the forum for a while and just read about the Nook Glow 3 which definitely has me intrigued (Night Mode very appealing).
Kindle does give you page numbers for mainstream books, but several of the last ones I've purchased have been without. Location 627 or 19% doesn't really cut it for me. I really don't like reading without some idea where I am in a book. The Sony Reader gave you page numbers for every single book, small press or not, converted or not. I thought it would be nice to not be converting and side-loading everything for a change, and the Kindle does have some features I thought I would enjoy and I do. I bought a Kindle as my reading habits run more to the niche market that Amazon caters to and Kobo does not. A few months back I bought my first Kindle, the basic version, and am somewhat disappointed. I started e-reading with the Sony PRS-350 Reader Pocket Edition (5" screen) which served me well for many years.
