"Chapter 5, about halfway in" or "Chapter 5, paragraph starting with ...". Back in the pbook days, I wouldn't assume they had the same edition of the book. I would assume even less with ebooks. Add in the ability to search the text, and saying "Page x" isn't as needed.

Of course I wouldn't have "fixed" ADE numbering. I would have just adopted a "fixed" version of it in the Kobo ACCESS rendering (where they have already adopted a different system BTW). So no greater confusion, just the same one we have right now: two systems. I just think a per chapter and relative numbering method is not a good idea.

And one of the common questions is "how do I know how much more in the current chapter". So, a per chapter numbering is desirable for some people.

Yes, I can choose but it is an all-or-nothing decision. Like I said about statistics, I don't really care about page numbers. And my turning point to ACCESS is based (or not) in other prominent features.
BUT despite of that fact, I think the current page numbering adopted in ACCESS is really pointless and quite worse over all than the original RMSDK/ADE one.

And there is the thing: It is your opinion and preferences. As I have pointed out, others don't agree. But, you do have some choice. Unfortunately, the choices carry other features that you might not like.
