What if the content and/or arrangement of the electronic version is different in any way from the paper version?
What if the book was never published in paper form?
It seems silly, to me, to try and tie ebooks to print editions. No-one expects or requires a paperback version to match the page numbering of a hard cover version of a book. Why demand that an electronic version must be an exact match with some other format? They're all different.
