Not if a page is based on character count, which is what epub pages are and what makes them standard across devices.
How could it be considered standard when one device may be able to see the whole "page" on one screen and another device may need 3,4 or 5 screens to see the whole "page"?

Look, I have no problem with "pages"... and I have no problem with "locations". I've used devices and software that use a variety of different of methods. None is better or worse than the other. Neither is valid to be used as a standard. I can (and have) adjusted to either with little trouble.

I just refuse to believe that epub's "pages" are better because they've stuck a nostalgic word in front of their arbitrarily determined character count.
