As to your correlates between ebooks and physical books again they are different media just because you wish it wasn’t so doesn’t change the fact that they are and that it has ramifications which do matter. A page has never and likely will never exist in an ebook. Just as a page doesn’t exist in an audiobook.
There is a standard. It's ADE page numbers. It's others that have gone off script. And nook does use ADE age numbers. Kobo can use ADE page numbers. ADE created a standard that's not been improved upon since.

Then use ePub and turn on ADE. Your Kobo still reads them and the ADE page number still exists. Though even Adobe doesn’t seem to like it.
How does Adobe not like it?
