Page numbering is dying. Ebook readers often don't show any page numbers. IETF RFCs are losing their page numbers. I don't like it.

- jbaber 5y agoIt's very irritating because it's the only way to refer to part of a long section. I'm going to have to start referring to paragraph numbers. Ugh.
- cryptonector 5y agoYes, exactly. Who cares that page numbers might canonically be for one paper size and not correspond to page sizes on some device? You can scroll or whatever and still use the canonical page numbers.
- wolverine876 5y agoWhat's wrong with paragraph numbers? They are more precise.

- cryptonector 5y agoPorque no los dos?
- hoseja 5y agoSince ebook readers can reflow text (after f.e. changing font size), page numbers lose most of their meaning.
- cryptonector 5y agoNot so. Page breaks can still be rendered or marked anyways, and so can page numbers. And yeah, you're not going to see a whole "page" in one screenful, but so what?
