As I mentioned in my post, I want my eBooks to correlate (relatively) to my printed books. Never any mention of my printing any of my eBooks.

It doesn't matter if they're same media or not — up until this "page" per screen firmware change (which happened less than a month ago) eBook page numbers correlated (roughly) to printed book page numbers. It's not a revolutionary idea to want that
standard to continue.

And again you know exactly how many taps it’s going to take to get you to the end of a kepub. With ADE and the old kepub system you didn’t because a ‘page’ could end three lines into a new screen.

I don't care how many screen taps it takes to get to the end of the book. I'm not a computer, I'm a human being. I want a system that correlates to a common standard. Consistent page numbering (even in eBooks) was a standard until less than a month ago — it still is everywhere but in Kobo Land.

Yep, but I don't still have the same relative page count, which is I want.
