I like ADE page numbers! They are useful and practical. They are universal. They work, always.
Does "ADE" refer to Adobe Digital Editions? Because if it does, then I'll have to disagree.

In the last few years I've read over 300 ebooks and not one, not a single one, was an Adobe Digital Edition.

OTOH, with the help of the search tool, I have been able to give friends accurate pointers to specific passages in ebooks for years. Incidentally that really worked "on every variety of ereader or e-reading app, and for every single ebook on this planet", assuming, of course, they didn't lack the searching function in the first place(i.e. Kobo).

The Kindle, for example, has "real page numbers" which sounds a whole lot better than "ADE page numbers". The catch is,"ADE" or "real" it's all total BS!

At Amazon you can find english editions of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" with anything from 480 to 600 pages!

Since this is the "future frimware request" forum, I'd like to say: Give them Kobo devs a rest with all this page number stuff and just beg'em to implement a proper search function.

AND:
They could publish the dictionary format for easy tweaking(not so good for Kobo profit) or just sell all kinds of dictionarys.
