strongly recommend anyone I know who's thinking about an e-reader to try before they buy for a typical for them extended reading period.

The 7" tablet I just bought handles HTML and PDF... just barely. It's like a time warp back a couple of decades; crazy problems like if I change the orientation of the device, the browser jumps to the top of the file. Font styles and sizes can't be changed. No bookmarking function. PDFs still have those insane graphic-designer-wank margins sucking chunks of the little 7" screen.

After spending some time being disgusted with the device, I got used to its limitations and saw its advantages. This particular tablet is a primitive dead end, but it will do for now.

> page numbers

Back before "pages", you simply said "about six feet down from the top of this scroll."

Referencing text position from the top of the file would be just as useful, and potentially more precise, than a page number.
