until there is a standard as to what counts as 1 page, this debate will never end. even with paper books, if there are two different editions, the page number will get out of sync. and with the same paper books from different publishers, the page numbers are even more likely to not agree. i believe that the only standard i've seen is to reference by chapter and verse, which is what the christian bible uses. even with this, page numbers are not used. whoever decided on this system recognizes that font size and page size is going to vary and that referencing by page numbers will never be resolved because of this. if you are to set the page marks by referencing an actual paper book, again, this will differ based on publisher and edition.
so the closest thing to a standard without using the chapter/verse method would be to use percentage and/or the location method used by amazon. amazon's location method counts each line of text. so it's really the chapter and verse method without the chapter.
