Why do books on desktop display pagination while the same books on iOS and iPad do not??

Granted, I am relatively new to Logos (6 months of use for seminary studies), after allowing it to languish for decades for the same reasons bringing me here today: it is the least intuitive, most bloated program my relatively geeky mind has come across. At the moment, I cannot figure out (or locate definitive information on) why my desktop app will show the print book pagination while neither iOS or iPad OS will. Unless I am missing something that is buried beneath layers of obfuscation. I cannot help that my professor insists on assigning readings by page ranges instead of chapters and/or sections, which would, of course, solve 99% of this dilemma. Nevertheless, he insists on page numbers for a hard copy I neither own nor have ready access to (studying remotely).

Besides overwhelming frustration at the significant differences in UI and UX between Logos platforms (WHY!?), my issue is: I was finally able to figure out how to turn on the page number function in the desktop version, but there seems to be no corresponding page number function for either the iPhone or iPad versions! Unless they are skillfully buried beneath unintuitive layers of functional rubble.

Searching the forum is as frustratingly fruitless as trying to figure out the interface. Why is it so seemingly impossible for Logos, Faithlife, ePub, et al to add the corresponding printed book’s pagination? Not difficult. Exceedingly useful.

So, can anyone explain if pagination for a book in the desktop version is available for the iPad and iPhone versions???? I’m not in the habit of reclining on the sofa with my desktop to read. You?

Not sure what pagination you want. On mine (iOS) it's in the text box at the top, when tool panels are displayed.

Now, granted, unlike Kindle, I can't type in a new page number and go there. That's strange.
