I guess the point is that, if you want to reference a book, there are perfectly satisfactory ways to do so already. For a novel, the chapter number generally suffices: "In chapter 27 of Great Expectations, Dickens says....", while for things like plays and poetry you have standard act/scene or line numbering.

I personally regard page numbers as an artifact of paper books which have no place in the eBook world. All I really want is an easy indicator of how far through a book I am, and the Gen3's "progress bar" is a perfectly satisfactory method of showing that. That's just a personal view - I know that not everyone will agree.
