The only partial solution is to use ebook page mapping which involves creatting mapping data in the ebook for mapping sections of the ebook to page numbers from a phsical edition of the book. But very few ebooks have that data, so it is not a robust/scaleable solution.

Many thanks, dear Kovidgoyal, much appreciated. I was not aware that only a minority of e-books have page mapping data.
