Pagination changes with the font family *and* the font size. IOW, page numbers make no sense whatsoever for an electronic book - unless one insists upon using a one-size-fits-none approach similar to PDF. It would behoove authors and publishers to think in terms of citations and footnotes being gathered by chapter, part or section, not by page. After all, there's no real reason to not build in a hyperlink to the relevant note right into the text.
Ah well, perhaps the publishers will figure out - some time within the next 10,000 years - that putting an axle between two wheels will allow for a platform to ride on the wheels...
