Agreed completely with this absolute necessity for the ability to navigate by and discover the parallel print page numbers. Can we come up with some common terminology to talk about this? I've often found that I get confused in conversations about "pagination," because people using the term from the more CSS/web-based/technical end of things mean "pagination" to mean "permitting a non-scrolling interface," whereas some people coming from the accessible publishing end of things mean this particular issue about print pages. Is there a sink term we can all agree upon, which is not just using the EPUB specification technical term, to mean "page numbers of the print rendition"? it's a twofold issue, as well: readers need to be able to navigate to what would be page 37 in the print rendition, but they also need to be able to say "I am on print page 37 right now."

An EPUB file or reading system that lacks navigation by original print page > numbers does not allow for this active participation without a significant expense of extra effort on the part of the student with disability.
