title_body: How to get number of locations of a Kindle ebook programatically?
upvoted_answer: Number of locations isn't in the metadata of a book file, it's the Kindle's calculation based off the book length. That thread mentioned give's some guesses about what the calculation is, but they still appear to be guesses. Theoretically, if you know the formula you can just create a simple program in Excel, enter the variables for each book, and get your answers.
