More broad, format-neutral citation is superior, because it works across all the different formats (Hardcover, Large Print, PDF, HTML, EPUB, MOBI, XYZ, [...]).

I would not force JSWorlf's personal preferences on anybody. However, the ADE system has wide support. The only other system that has wide support is page numbers which can be supported in PDF, some ePub 2, AZW and fully on ePub 3. But of course the paper book could be changed so that doesn't really work either. In the world of specifications where I used to live we wrote everything with chapter numbers, section numbers, and subsection numbers for example 1.2.3 and may even 1.2.3.4 The name followed the number on the same line. This provided a reasonable identification but I would try and use that in a fiction book. However, generally speaking most authors don't revisit a book the way you said with no reason except to just change things that result in the same presentation.
