Page numbers are not enough. You also need more data to use a book in a bibliography or other scholarly reference. Different editions have different numbering and even a hardback vs. paperback have different numbering. Often the scanned book data is not detailed enough to define these differences. This is why, in business, where references are needed the sections and sometimes even the paragraphs are numbered. Page numbers are not really enough.
