Using the same ebook, the page numbers are the same on any ereader regardless of the font size, screen size, margins, line spacing, etc. If I tell a friend of mine that I saw the reference on page 297 in chapter 11 of the IBM NAS redbook, it takes him very little time to find the reference despite my reading the ebook on a Kobo and him reading it on an Iconia tablet, the displayed page number is the same for the same distance into the text.

Screen turns? You'd better have the same ereader using the same font, font size, renderer, margin and line height settings, etc.
