A practical reading method
Make a Locator for Large-Print and Standard Editions
Record the chapter or named section before adding any page number. Add a short paraphrase of the nearby action or image rather than copying a long passage. Test the locator in a second edition and revise it if the search takes more than a minute.
Use this when a group mixes standard, large-print, and library editions whose pagination differs. Page number alone can exclude readers whose edition is laid out differently. A neutral landmark survives most format changes.

Method
Build the note
1. Record the chapter or named section before adding any page number.
2. Add a short paraphrase of the nearby action or image rather than copying a long passage.
3. Test the locator in a second edition and revise it if the search takes more than a minute.
Example
See the boundary in practice
Standard page 84 becomes chapter 6, just after the station announcement, where Mara folds the map.
Quality check
Before you trust the note
A reader with a different print size should be able to locate the passage without learning a later event.
