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

[Ramapriyan, Hampapuram K. (GSFC-4230)]

Chapter and Verse makes a lot of sense. When we review softcopy documents, we usually indicate chapter, section, paragraph and sentence if we have a very specific comment. It is a good idea to have section/subsection numbering for that reason.

Nice. I will use that (with due citation).

I guess chapter and verse are similar to Amazon's location number, but we are hindered and helped by our tie to the medium--the page number.
