Page numbers currently have a lot of uses. One is to be able to pace your reading of the book. Another is to give a sense of progress when reading. And another is to be able to estimate how long time it takes to finish a chapter and so on. It is not important that page number is used for this but something that have the relevant properties as page number have must be used. Number of characters is probably much better than paragraph number for this.

I am impatiently waiting for the firmware update to the Cybook Gen3 so I get "page" numbers and can start reading on my Cybook again. I totally hate the current lack of "page" numbers and have mostly read paper books lately.
