Here's an example of what I'm talking about: One screen on the Kindle might show

"This is some text on page 123 of a specific print edition. blah blah blah blah blah. This is the last text on that page [124] and this is the first text on page 124 of the specific print edition. blah blah blah."

Of course, the actual text was a lot more boring than "blah blah blah"!
That could work for citations, I think, provided it is marked from which book edition these page numbers are.
