This website says to merely use the location along with the paragraph on that “screen,” so to speak.

Great point! The Kindle has always worked best when you start on page one and read each page in order. That’s why it isn’t really very good for reference works and other educational applications.

Say I click on to the sub notes and it goes from pg 40 to 358 or something. Then my Kindle will always say my last page read is the 358 even though I have gone back and continued reading. My Kindle on my PC will also synch with the notes that I have referenced. Does anyone know how to delete that I’ve gone to the notes as a referance not as the final position of what I am reading. This is so annoying.

Yes, it is a big step forward, but it is only for a limited set of titles. I agree, though, that Amazon listened to the outcry over this issue!

For study purposes Kindle is useless. Try using a calculus text using Kindle software! Text and graphics are data, but page information, edition, chapter references, etc., are all METADATA. As many have noted, varying the delivery of the data by changing font, color, etc. is easily done *independent* of metadata. Avoiding this problem was easy; Amazon royally screwed up. This oversight was a failure of epic proportions, and could cost them the market. It’s a shame, because their other work is excellent.

I just got the amazon kindle and I love it so far. It is great to read on, even in direct sunlight. Definitely recommend.

With the Amazon Kindle you now can have page number references in every e-book they sell.
Rock On KINDLE!!!

It’s been (somewhat) fixed with a firmware update. Press the menu button for “page X of XXX” at the bottom alongside the location.
