>So, for a novel, probably never. For a research book, they'll take a hard look at it.
I can't think of any other reason for page numbers, other than to cite the page in a note.
People reading a novel on a Kindle generally don't know the author's name. (Ask the lady sitting next to you on the plane or train!) They may not even know the TITLE, though it's on every "page" of a Kindle edition. Why would they have the slightest interest in PAGE NUMBERS?
