If ebooks do not need page numbers then print books should not need them either. It is pretty easy to figure how far your into a book by looking at it. If the right half of the book has a lot more pages then the left side you are closer to the beginning of the book. If the left side has a lot more pages then the right side you are closer to the end of the book. I think that an ebook should approximate an printed book as much as possible. As long as printed books have page numbers so should ebooks.
