DMSmillie, another reason for citations to refer back to paper based book pages is that different e-readers will give different references for the same location and that reference could also change with font size.

That observation actually holds true for Adobe's own reader. I have a large number of manuals and the page number the reader shows rarely corresponds with the page number at the top or bottom of a pdf "printed" page. The extraneous white pages and or cover pages or opening "focus" page all count in the reader so when the manual says See Page xx, rarely if I enter xx in the reader's jump-to-page will it be the correct page.
Still real page numbers could be useful for those who want them.
