FYI, citing passages by page and edition is not only for reference books.

Scholars often study the works and letters of famous authors in fiction and non-fiction from multiple time periods and need to cite passages.

And more generally, anyone simply may want to cite events or dialog from any book the are reading in parallel with friends many of them who read the print edition.
If there are multiple print editions with different age numbers, how will you know which print edition the page map uses? You don't as it doesn't say. Also, most eBook do not have a page map so for ePub, the only page numbering you have is that of ADE. So really, if you are going to be citing from multiple books and you feel you need to have a page number that aligns with some print edition, the forget eBooks.
