This just isn't true, but the reasons have been posted so much, I'm not gonna rehash them.

Page numbers in an eBook relates to me the same way as if I ask someone how far it is from Oslo to Trondheim and they answer "9 hours". It gives me nothing. How would I know the driving skills and average speed of the person asked? Is it by lorry, motorcycle or car? Or at foot? If I was informed it was 580 km, I would then know *exactly* how far it would be, regardless of veichle used.

Since I actually read words and not markup I can't see, that's exactly how I feel about locations.
