Sure, but how do you tell to other user where it is?
Last time, I wanted to tell someone where something was in an ebook, I just told her to search in the book for the string "If this gets any more cloying,". At least that was how I pointed a fellow David Eddings fan to one of the repetition of phrases found in his work. In this case, in Magician's Gambit and The Sapphire Rose. Given I was reading on an Aura HD and she was reading on a Kindle Fire, any relationship between the page numbers we see is impurely coincidental.

Given that page numbers in any ebook border on useless, it could be argued that pages that reflect the amount of text on a page as they do in a dead tree book are about as relevant as page numbers based on an algorithm that has nothing to do with what is seen on the display.
