what is loc on kindle

Loc on Kindle stands for "location" and is a digital unit of measurement that Kindle uses to keep track of where you are in a book. It is a more precise and universal way to track where you are in a book than traditional page numbers, which could vary depending on the device or font size. Each location represents roughly one screenful of text, and it changes as you scroll through your book. Unlike page numbers, Loc is a number that Kindle uses to identify the parts of a book, and it utilizes a system that is based on the byte count, rather than word count. Loc on Kindle does not change with the increase or decrease in the text size, and it is more accurate and maintains consistency when citing text in the Kindle version of a book. By default, all Kindles show locations instead of page numbers to tell you where you are in a book or manuscript, but it is possible to switch between Loc and page numbers depending on your preference.
