That's the only real use I have for page numbers most of the time.

Wow that feels like a lot of work that fundamentally breaks one of the advantages of ebooks, the ability to reflow the text.
I don't understand why a typical table of contents in ePub or one of the other ebook formats doesn't do exactly what you need? I've never had trouble navigating to a chapter regardless of any changes made to the size of the text.
