My purpose with this thread was to argue that page numbering is something the world needs, and to find out if others agrees or not. If your pointed-haired bosses gets ideas to easily you should consider limiting their surfing privileges. My impression so far is that this is something some pople wants and some others for reasons that for me are unclear have strong aversions against.
If it is not implemented as a feature in reader software, my quess is that some publishers will go ahead and embed page numbers (or paragraph numbers) directly into the text of the page in order to make their books (other than Harry Potter) suitable for their audience. That would not be a good solution.
