Well, the teacher can TRY and fail them...not going to work though. One complaint to the administration and the teacher gets overturned... and then the students write them up on "ratemyprofessors.com" as a crappy unreasonable teacher and no one ever takes their class again and then they get fired...as one example of how it would actually play out. But the college professors are too smart to play that game...not to mention they just don't CARE what device you are using. As long as you get your assignments turned in properly...it. just. doesn't. matter. to. them. Certainly not enough just to make you happy and use a partially accurate method of electronic page numbers that don't match the book in the first place...
As for "proper" citations: The need for specific page numbers in this day and age is just not there, and should be addressed in the newer versions of the Chicago/APA/MLA books. If it isn't fixed yet, it's probably because they are working on formatting their books for epub.... With paragraph/section numbers in technical manuals and subsection headings for non-tech and a freakin "find" function makes it the easiest thing in the world to find the proper location in an ebook.
