What all this makes me think of is that a tool like the iLiad (which seems to be becoming preferred hardware for scholarly use of ebooks) ought to be able to tell the reader more granular information about where the reader is in the book, e.g. what paragraph the reader clicks on. Probably that would need to be an enhancement to FBReader and ipdf.
This doesn't in any way disagree with what's been said above about the importance of a unique identifier per edition, etc., I'm just noting that our ebook reading software currently doesn't display the relevant information even if we address those issues.
