The ADE page numbers may not be consistent with any paper book but they are consistent across devices and I'm pretty sure that's what issybird meant. The text on page X on my 5" phone is the same as that on my 8" Tablet and both Kobos einks (6" & 6.8") no matter which font, font-size, line-spacing or page-margins I happen to be using on each. For epub readers who switch between devices often it makes life a heck of a lot easier as we have no universal Whispersync-like option.
