That's utter nonsense. Because that's not what I'm trying to suggest at all. I literally meant the term "page" or "screen" is fluid and not a concrete concept in any reflowable document. Follow a footnote link and then click the return link and see if it takes you back to the same "screen" with all the exact same words that were on it before you left. Then click the previous page button a couple of times and try to get back to that exact same "screen." Never mind when someone resizes the whole book by changing the words per line setting.

So when I suggest it's silly trying to assign a static page/screen/click number to something that doesn't really exist... I'm not referring to some artsy-fartsy concept of pages similar to the "smell of a book." I'm talking about how reflowing ebooks work in general. Concretely. I'm not waxing philosophical, here.
