+1, also every additional edition of any one type of print version can easily have small typographic changes that alter the page numbering. This is why scholarly quotations always reference the source book's edition with a good deal of precision and why Amazon's Kindle page numbering (not the fake numbering done with calibre, et. al.) contains a reference to the specific printed edition that it matches.
