Body: <p>I was navigating about this text I'm currently reading and I grew curious what exactly is meant by <code>Loc</code> or <code>Location</code> in the context of a kindle book. Is this essentially a word or character count?</p>
  
  <p>If you look at the screen shot below I outlined in red the section of the UI that points out the text progress. There it states <code>Page 14 × Loc 358</code> at the slider bar, and in the status bar <code>5% - Page 14 of 393 - Location 358 of 7091</code>
