Would it be possible to have a page number override for searching though the sourcebooks? When dnd players share info with each other, and reference a specific page in a sourcebook, it's difficult to search for that information in dndbeyond since DNDB has digitizes and categorized them, so it would be nice to be able to say search "page 164" of the PHB, and instead of getting DNDB format of it, we get an image of the original page as formatted in the physical book?
I'd personally like pagination myself, and it has been asked for by others. IIRC DDB's justification for not providing pagination is their interpretaton/license for the D&D tool set as a 'living' document and errata could lead to repagination, which would be another thing to keep track of on top of having rules and mechanics expressed in their most current wording.
EDIT: I'd change the topic of this thread to be specific you're talking about page numbers. When I clicked the link I honestly thought you were either looking for community recommendations for your next sourcebook purchase or floating for ideas on what community would think would be a cool future sourcebook.
This is a great idea that shouldn't really be that hard to implement. So I doubt we'll see it any time soon. But have you heard about the pre-order bonuses for the newly announced book?!

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
Would be great, in the meantime, this helps:

I'd like an index too. My printed PHB has one, and I believe DDB is supposed to reproduce all content faithfully...
