in class use

I'm getting better at reading the Kindle in class.  The instructor will start reading a phrase and I'll be ready with "search".  It takes me a minute or so longer, but I get there.  Sometimes if they're flipping through the book too much, I'll just jot down the phrase he starts with and then just listen intently.

Today in class, a topic came up.  I put in the search and poof! I found the perfect reference to bring up in class.  The instructor thought it was good, so he asked "what page are you on?" and I went, um, Location 1704.

Wouldn't it be cool if the little line at the bottom had a symbol to show the chapter breaks?  Then you could go: "I'm near the end of chapter 10". 

And that's close to my other "complaint".  When I've got a paper book, sometimes I like to see how close I am to the end of a chapter, or a good stopping place.  It's hard to do that on the Kindle.  I'm more likely to stop wherever.  Even if another 100 words would get to the end of the chapter.  Oh well.  There are worse things.
