Jeff, how do you handle differing page numbers in say a hard cover vs a paperback or even a different edition where page numbers change?

With the Sony Reader 500/505, you can specify the location in a human-readable way very easy like this... Page 225 size small. That means it's starts on page 225 when the font is set to small.

If you can deal with differences in page number variations in differing paper versions, I don't see how the eBook edition will be that much more difficult. Well at least with LRF format eBooks it should not sice we do have proper page numbers displayed.

The problem with page number tags in an eBook to tryt o make it match the pBook (IMHO) won't work all the time. You have an eBook that matches the paper edition as it is now. Then a different edition with differing numbers is used, the eBook no longer matches. What do you do then? The best idea (IMHO) is just to cite from the eBook's page number and font settings to know how to get back to that point in the book.
