That's exactly what I said -- it uses fake page numbers.

Whether they work well or not is a matter of opinion. Since I find page numbers to be inherently inferior in determining how time left is in the book (should I wish to know), the only use page numbers have (for me) is as a "proper reference".
Which means pbook page numbers are the only ones with any use whatsoever.

P.S. Yes, computer generated pages on a medium where the word "page" is a non sequitur are indeed fake.
You've been denying it for a long time, and I have no doubt you will continue to deny it even after I post this, but I just thought I'd mention it anyway for the sake of conversation.
