I would be surprised if any of the academic referencing systems (Harvard etc) have caught up with e-readers yet. The standard format is author, title, page number, publisher etc etc. So knowing the page number on which another person can find that information is important. If it comes out as a different page number, or non-existent, on different formats and different readers you have a problem.
Actually I think e-readers are useless for academic research - you need to flick backwards and forwards between text, index, notes all the time in ways which are easy with the physical book or journal but clumsy on current e-readers (at least on my Bebook)
