Page numbers are too broad a classification, paragraph numbers are better. Paragraph number based referencing is implemented in the calibre epub viewer.

  • Shorter delay when changing font sizes (that delay you see is the reader re-rendering every page in order to give you accurate page numbers)
  • No crashes in large documents while pre-rendering (only happens on the largest books and can be fixed by using the Sony desktop client to transfer, but it still stinks)
Neither of these having anything to do with page numbers.
