It seems pretty straight-forward to me -- if you want the e-book to simulate a book then the e-book has pages that you turn and you have page numbers that correspond to each page.

I have no interest in having an ebook exactly simulate the experience of a reading a physical book. If I wanted that... I'd
read physical books and completely echew ebooks.
I don't want to touch the "pages" to turn them. I don't want to turn my ereader over to read the words printed on the opposite screen. I don't want multiple, entirely blank screens separating sections. I don't want to be forced into using the typeface/size the publisher/author has chosen. And I certainly don't want to use a location system that's based on a physical reading medium that I'm not currently using.
What would be the point of completely re-creating the exact same experience as a physical book, when we already
have physical books, if that's what someone obviously prefers?
