When texts are displayed on various ereaders, the pagination is going to vary depending on the screen size, font chosen, etc. There's no way that you can usefully refer to Tractatus p. 15, say. Page references work ONLY when everyone is using the same deadtree text.
Most e-readers use HTML (albeit indirectly), and HTML already has a standard for references: <a name='whatever'/> If you want to find, say, act 2 scene 3 of the Polish translation of Romeo and Juliet, you can: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/27062/27062-h/27062-h.htm#Akt2_Scena3 Most PG HTML editions these days keep the original page numbers (to the extent possible). Want to see what was on page 42 of that book? http://www.gutenberg.org/files/27062/27062-h/27062-h.htm#Page_42 -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you.
