There's an excellent chance that the publisher wanted RPNs, for some reason (real page numbers or real page number functionality), and so the poor, overworked, beleaguered bookmaker put those in there as link targets--OR, to see if they could get Amazon to use the RPNs, rather than locations. yes, yes, I know, we're discussing ePUB, but after all, ePUB is often the parent to the concomitant MOBI.

Offered FWIW.
