It'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.

Yes, 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.

What's wrong with paragraph numbers? They are more precise.
