So, for a novel, probably never. For a research book, they'll take a hard look at it. But even then, it's not guaranteed.

You do as we've discussed--add the ids based on page numbers, to match the print edition; create a page list, and alert Amazon and in their infinite wisdom and sole discretion, yes, they'll enable it. :-)
