I don't understand why a page number is needed for that. You cite someone's words, stating his/her name and the book title, isn't that enough? (I'm not talking about the possible publisher's/editor's requirements.)

The issue arises if in the future the e-version is the ONLY option. Until then, I couldn't care less as I'm just 100% sticking with paper versions for all my academic work for now.

When the only available edition is electronic, you can say Sam E. Author wrote "This is not possible", and anyone can (or should be able to) search the book to instantly find the "This is not possible" sentence.
