That is actually one benefit of the increasing "standarisation" of reading devices on Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). ADE does have consistent page numbering which is independent of font size and device, so if you refer to page 50 of a particular ePub book, everyone using ADE-based software to read that book will have the same page 50.
