Like it or not, the e-book is the evolution of a book and, in evolving, it replicates many of the same features as a book:

1) text on a page
2) ability to turn the page
3) ability to go to a page
But with an ebook, a page/screen is a moving target. It's fluid... not always the same. So what's the point of trying to tag it with static properties?—other than dogma and paradigm, of course.

Yes the ebook is the evolution of the book. And "The page" is an evolved book's appendix. It might hang about, but what the heck does it really do?
