I thought the point was about finding where the end matter started.

I really don't get the obsession some people have with page numbers on ebooks. It's possible to put them in a TOC, though I've never seen them in TOC on either the Sony PRS350 or T1. I've accidentally left page numbers on a TOC.

Ebook creation guides abhor any use of page numbers anywhere for good reason as with fontface / fontsize / margin / spacing changes /different screens they are meaningless.
I have 3 sizes of eink screens and maybe 3 resolutions of 6" size, so maybe if you only have one spec of screen and never change anything it can work. I often use larger font face and line spacing and margin if annotating and smallest that's visually comfortable if just reading, which is rather different amount of words per page on tiny PRS350, my 6" long aspect ratio phone, Kindle PW3 and the Kobo Aura H2O for same size of text.
