This article will explain how to navigate, jump or move to a specific page or spot in a book you are reading on Kindle.
Kindle Page Numbers vs Location Numbers
Kindle books display location numbers by default instead of page numbers. The reason for this is that Kindle page numbers can vary by different screen and font sizes, while Kindle location numbers are consistent no matter what type of device or font settings you are using. If you want to switch from location numbers to page numbers, see: How to View Page Numbers on Your Kindle. But note that some Kindle books do not support page numbers.
