That has some appeal, but it sort of leaves the person with just the paper edition in the lurch. Very few paper books have paragraph numbers. If someone has cited a paragraph number and I want to look up the reference in a library book, it might be extremely inconvenient if the chapters are long. Parallel citations would be better, I think.
