It also allows me to insert a Table of Contents at the beginning of the book so I can go to the specific chapter that I want, since with a PDF the number of pages and the pages where the chapters will fall doesn't change. 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.
