So I guess I don't even understand what viewpoint you're starting from, so I can't really make a counterargument.
K-Thom made a counterargument to my viewpoint that pages are fundamental units of books, e- or p-.

I would say, for clarification, if after pressing the next page button, there is overlap with the text you've already read, you are seeing scrolling behavior instead of real page turns. If the software/hardware is reluctant to tell you the page number and/or how many pages are left... that is at least a partial step away from the page paradigm.
