True. Physical books are counted in words. But then, so are electronic books. Word number 18,291 in a 50,000 word book is always the same word whether it's a pocket paperback, a hardcover, a large print, a plain text file, an HTML file, an ePub archive, a Kepub archive, a MOBI file, a LIT file, a KF8 archive, a PRC file, a... heck, a papyrus scroll, notches in clay tablets, even scratchings on a cave wall. Get the point yet?

With the exact same eBook, I get the exact same page numbers using ADE page numbers no matter the screen size and all the other things that can be changed.

So which one works better? ADE page numbers of course.
Show me a physical book that uses ADE faux pages and I'll reconsider the assertion.
