I'm going to say this, but I am correct. I am correct about ePub's page numbering.
One thing that's not been mentioned is searching. If you quote from an ePub and then that ePub is changed by the publisher and the quote is no longer on the page you cited, the quoted text can be searched for. That goes for any ePub reader that doesn't use ADE page numbers. So using ADE page numbers will satisfy the citation. Just because th publisher or author updated the eBook is not t a problem for the person citing an older version (which may have been the currt version at the time of the citation).
As for modifying the eBook so the page numbers are not correct, just don't do so. Don't use Calibre to side load. Don't strip the DRM (if there is any). Just load it so it's as it came and you will have the correct page numbers for that eBook.
