Which accurate amount? Are you using a paperback, trade paperback, hardcover, etc. as the source for your reference page numbers? In an epub, there are ways of setting page numbers that match a physical book but either Adobe's page-map or the epub3 page-list are, IMHO, pretty useless since they would only match a specific edition of a physical book and require manual generation and quite a few renderers do not support either of them.

I would go with theducks chapter/paragraph method of citing quotations.
