A tiny portion of which I wrote.

However Kindles since firmware 3.1 support .apnx files which serves the same purpose as pagelist or pagemap.

Again, given that the page numbers can and will vary between different formats and editions of dead tree books and you can only match one edition, the utility of page numbers for ebooks is, IMNSHO, very limited.
I didn't dispute any of that. I just relayed my experience over the past year, which included new and not-new releases and hard and soft backs. It's all anecdotal, but sufficient for me to decide they will be close enough for me.

I personally find page numbers more helpful during reading than kindle locations or percent complete.
