[Esip-preserve] Page Numbers for Kindle Books an Imperfect Solution - NYTimes.com

[Bruce Barkstrom]

Sounds like the "metadata solution" of citing "Chapter and Verse"
in the King James Bible - quite an innovation at the time if I recall
correctly.

There's an equivalent problem if you want to create an index that
will work the same way for a print version of a book and for a hypertext
version (like one built out of Web pages that have links).  It might
be sensible to use pdf if you can modify the original pdf file, but if
you have a pdf file that someone else has created, doing an index
entry for it in your critical review is not so easy.
