A different page number question

[brycej]

For those of us who need to cite page numbers exactly, we want to see where the page break occurs.
On the internet research of legal cases, the websites show where a printed page starts on the webpage.
It might look something like for a supreme court case: [*427].  There are actually 3 versions of US Sup Ct
cases.  And so you may see there types of brackets.
Of course we don't need this for most books.
But if the kindle page shows a page number for some academic-type books, I want to be able to be exact
with a page number that aligns perfectly with the printed book.

Of course, this stuff is not needed for book being read for leisure purposes.

I think with the latest update for the K3, page numbers have been added that match up with the printed book.  So it might take a page click or two (or more) to get to display the next page number, depending on the font size for the book on the Kindle.

Or maybe I'm not understanding the question...

I think if you use the 'go to' feature and go to a certain page it will display the beginning of that page in the upper left corner of the screen - then do 'go to' the next page and you'll see exactly where that starts in the same way and of course that will also tell you where in the text previous page ended. It's a bit long winded but I can't see how else you would do it - there's no mark in the text to show the beginning and end of a page.

I didn't see a question.

But Lin is right about how to tell where the beginning and ending of a given page is.

The only way I know of to see the exact beginning of a page is to use the GOTO function and specify a page number, which will take you to the location associated with the beginning of the page. Even then, it probably will not be 100% accurate as to the exact first word of the page.

This is roughly a forty-year old practice which began when Westlaw and Lexis started providing computer assisted legal research, long before the world wide web.  As you note, it is precise and easy to use.

Unfortunately there is no Kindle equivalent.
