Then the next news article will read "Amazon stores the locations of where you are in your ebooks!".
You can't have your cake and eat it too, amazon needs to store something to make this feature work.

- Karunamon 7y agoIt's the same thing with the locations, since your "page" is entirely dependent on your screen size and font setting. The end of a given page could reference no less than 40 different positions in the book (8 possible font sizes, 5 different screen sizes on all available kindles).
- Godel_unicode 7y agoIsn't it much more than that given iOS split screen support? I thought Kindle text was addressed by word break?
- rtkwe 7y agoIt's way more than that because the page breaks will also change based on screen size including apps on other devices. We aren't seeing the full data here so I bet one of the columns here is currentLocation using the word break location (which I've heard is how Loc XXX is calculated for kindle books) instead of a page number.
