It's a lot more work than previous methods, so I wasn't sure they'd manage it... at least not this soon. But judging from all the feedback they got from users and trial studies in universities, it was a smart move, particularly for academic settings, where it should give them a serious edge over non-hard-coded pagers.

Good work if they roll it out for all of their books. It was weird citing an epub page number for a couple of book reviews last semester. They don't quite jive with the print editions - generally close, but not super close.
Excellent idea from Amazon if they get get them matched up properly for everything (quite the task).
