That doesn't work with paper books either, unless there is only a single sanctioned edition and printing.
Suppose I want to discuss with you a passage that appears on "page 264" of "The Three Musketeers". That's pretty useless, because I have no idea which edition/translation you are using, and I may be using a French or Spanish version myself. It would be much better to say: "in the 5th paragraph of chapter XXIII" or something like that.
