Actually as I noted most eBook readers already prepaginate the documents. My old eb1150 does this at the time the file is built for the two font sizes that it was built for. Sony does this as part of the connect download for the 3 fonts sizes and on the fly when a new font is selected from a file that has not been prepaginated. The pagination stuff is already in the code. It just needs to know the page boundaries and font sizes. Some of the other formats like MobiPocket do not do this well if at all. PDF, of course, always does since it is a print format.

If we can get rid of the requirement to match existing hard books then paragraph number is the way to go.
