I would really like e-book readers to use physical (normative?) page numbers, e.g. in their navigation bar, when they are available. Since on small screens the e-book page count gets too large to be useful. |
I must have missed that on my initial read-through of the spec. There is actually quite a bit in there. I'll have to take a closer look. Thanks for pointing this out.
OK, I see that you were referencing the DTBook spec, which is incorporated into the epub spec. The documentation on the IDPF site glosses over some of this. Thanks again for pointing to the full DTBook spec.
