If anyone has an ePub with a page map file, I'll be happy to test it and see what it does on the Opus.
Harry, I don't have my reader with me at work today, so I don't have the file near me. As I mentioned before, the only book I've come across that uses the page map is The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, which I purchased from WHSmith. It's an interesting read, and certainly worth the ~£6 for it.

Something else to note. I finished the book last night and was pleasantly surprised to find that the full index was linked to the appropriate page numbers in the book. This is another slight advantage to having the ebook page numbers match those of the printed edition--you don't need to redo the entire index. It's a small advantage, and certainly of limited utility, but good to know that it's possible.
