Again, no problems with hardware that displays pages (screens, really), none whatsoever.

But... ... you could write down the paragraph number, just as easily...

If your hardware showed it, of course, and let you jump to it.

Then again, hardware that crashes is unlikely to do have software that does cool, rational things.

Most of my comments are about communication and general accessibility, not specific use cases. I imagine you could come up with a situation (a markedly artificial one, mind you) that required the use of page numbers.

As a matter of fact, I dare you to!
