Yeah, citing would be an issue. One way around it is for eventually all ebooks and readers to use the same location system. On the kindle the locations are the same regardless of the font size etc..
So then you could site the location number in place of the page number for the direct quotes.
Paragraph numbers wouldn't work so well, unless readers all had an option to display the paragraph numbers on the screen. I hate with citations of internet articles now, it's a real pain for longer articles. I end up having to print them out and go through and write the paragraph numbers in the margins for longer articles that I'm quoting from multiple times.
But for PDFs, it's probably just easiest to have a standard maximum size and only have one size version of each document, and people who want an ereader for them will just have to buy a reader that supports PDFs up to the maximum size.
