Kindle page numbers also have meaning.
Even the obnoxious Adobe epub page numbers are fixed.
Pdf is a digital microfiche gussied up to try to pass as an ebook.
It has its uses...
...when there is nothing better available.
But it really behooves the publisher to make something better available.
It's not that hard and with epub3 there will be no excuses not to.
The next step for Overdrive is to ditch pdf files altogether.
Maybe next year...
