Why? Page numbers in ebooks are pretty much arbitrary. There are almost as many ways to calculate the page number as there is ereader software. And none of the numbering systems are transferable to different editions of a book or paper books. And at least one will get messed up if you don't compress the book properly.

If the point is to be able to get to the same place when reading on another device, then a text search is probably better. Or, "About halfway through chapter x". That's the way I did it even with paper books.
