if you really need to cite pages, you might try seeing if you can find the desired passage in the same edition on google books, by keyword searching, and using that page number.

mla has just updated the 'handbook' to account for internet resources, but i don't know whether they've also dealt with e-book citations. if i had to really 'wing' it, i might actually note the percentage of the way through the book, rather than the 'location'. or both percentage and location. it seems important to make the citation findable for users of either format, and 'how far into the book', percentagewise, might be helpful to get a hard-copy owner into the ballpark.
