The considered system and the present is colliding fast. We do need to fix this in epub I believe. I think the epub standard could have a meta file with the data in it to match page numbers for the real book and some standard proposed eBook sizes. This would allow scholarly research and improve the reading experience for eBook reader who want to know how many pages are in the book, what page they are on and when the next chapter starts. All can be accomplished with a pre-pagination file that is in the mix of files in the standard already. This would be an index like file that cross referenced page boundaries to xhtml files and locations in the files.
