1) is pretty easy to implement. Ebooks are searchable; page numbers are hacks around the limitations of paper books. Example:
<quote source="Dune (Herbert, Frank)">A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.</quote>
This perfectly identifies a location in the work, regardless of page numbers and other nonsense. A smart viewer will have no problem linking it to the correct place.
