But right now....page numbers are needed if this technology is going to be accepted and adopted by the broad masses.

So give us the page numbers!

I'm sorry, Jeff - I'm sure you swore...

Page numbering, I suppose could be important if the e-readers were used as part of a book club where a number of participants could need to reference a section of text - and with no easy reference in the Cybook - it could be interesting...
