Actually the Adobe Reader method used in epubs is designed for eReaders. It doesn't reference the page numbers in a paper edition but instead has one 'page' per 1000 characters so different people can find the same location despite varied font and margin settings and different screen sizes.

Be careful comparing eReaders to books. Generally new technology starts off close to old technology and then gets further away. Expect future eReaders to drop book-like features rather than adding them.

Not that I'd expect chapters to go. The index will vanish, replaced by search, but chapters are helpful for avoiding sections as well as finding them.
