I mostly read novels also. I still want page numbers that don't change with font sizes or screen sizes and, more or less, correlate with paper page numbers.
So when a hard cover is published as a mass-market paperback where the page numbers change due to the size of the font used, does that mean the paperback doesn't have actual pages?

But you've got to admit that for those who are studying, to have the same page numbers as a specific paper edition book would make referencing much, much easier and consistent.
Okay, but for all that people say that, I have seen no proof that Adobe page numbers actually do correlate to a specific paper version of a book.

From memory, even ePubs tend to label title and copyright pages as pages. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I don't think so.

And, even if that is so, what percentage of e-reading is done by people that are studying?
