boswd - Harry is right, those page numbers are just as virtual and arbitrary as the Kindle's locations. Actually more so, because they are calculated based on the compressed file, not the original file. |
But the OP asked if it is displayed as page numbers regardless of the behind the scenes compressions.
When reading a book on a kinlde is displayed as a location. When reading a book on the nook it is displayed as a page number. Now when can get into semantics about the compressions etc etc. the fact remains is how does it look when reading, despite the fact that is may have the same scheme, they appear different.
I took the OP's questions as what e readers dispaly the pages as page numbers and that is what the nook does, the kindle for example displays positions.
they may be the exact same thing behind the scenes scheme but they are displayed different. One as a page number one as a location.
that is how I took the OP.
