Any reader that has ADE on it has page numbers. It's just that simple. So if you want page numbers, get a reader that supports ADE. PDF reflow/zoom/margin crop exists on Sony Readers. Get one of them. Really, don't complain because you bought a Kindle that doesn't do what you want.
If a Kindle does what you want and you are happy with it, that's good. But if you bought one and it doesn't do what you want, return it and get one that does.

Just reading through this thread out of curiosity because I'm not a Kindle owner, but I'd just like to point out the fact that the majority of people new to ereaders don't even know what ADE stands for, much less what it can or can't do. Just like most advertisements for ereaders don't really give the customer information about the nuts-and-bolts of the reader - what it really can or can't do. Take my Sony, for example; I didn't know that there is no way to turn off the dictionary function or to change the font. Page numbering methods are never mentioned in the "Tech Specs" provided on the ereader's web page - or even on the ereader box itself.
Remember too, that Kindle and Sony readers don't share the same native format. So when faced with a different reading experience, we try to adjust the new reader to the settings that we are familiar with and used to. For example, I'm used to the Bookmark function on the Aluratek, where a bookmark is called a bookmark. On the Sony, you can "Bookmark" a page, but when you want to find those bookmarks, you have to look in the "Notes" section, the same place where highlighted sentences wind up. Why the change in terminology mid-stream? Who knows?
The fact that people are turning to this website with what seem to be simple and repetitive questions shouldn't be discouraged, nor should people be told to return their Kindle and get something else just because they happen to ask a question others find annoying. I'm a regular on a computer forum and I just wish that I had a dollar for every post about "what anti-virus program should I use?" - lol. But I remember when I was new to computers and new to different operating systems, and how I appreciated it when more knowledgeable people took the time to answer my - to them - obvious questions.
