Jon, please read the first post of the thread.

There are already quite a few numbering schemes for showing location in an ebook, but I would like to discuss one more, (decimal) fractional page numbers. This would allow "real page numbers" that match a specific print version for reference purposes (but does have the problem that many books have multiple print editions with varying pagination), and still show change for each ebook page turn.

Emphasis mine, "real" in this case referring to physical books.
The point of ADE isn't to match, but the only one championing ADE is
you. We've beaten the ADE discussion to death, and shown even the developers of it stated they made it up off an arbitrary number with no connection to any physical book. Thus ADE has no place in this thread since it will never connect to a physical book.

Yes because it's impossible to mark a starting location for software
I find this excuse especially hilarious since you want all software to be changed to use ADE, which again has no place in this thread due to its limitations of never applying to a physical edition.
Fractional page numbering, as describe in the OP, ties a physical page of a book to a "page" of an ebook, with the exception apparently of KFX8.
Word count, would also could be utilized in the same way, find one edition get the words per page, and mark them in the ebook as the start/stop of a "page".
