How in the world can a validator determine that a book is complete if all the page numbers are removed in advance? Of course, you can take the word of the submitter, but, then, why not just have the submitter approve it? And I want to reiterate that anyone wishing to use a book with a discussion group including those with vision is much advantaged by having access to page numbers from the print book. In fact, I am about to submit a book on the Bible by Isaac Asimov which is twelve hundred thirty pages long and in which he frequently refers to pages of the book where the reader might want to turn for clarification. What will a reader do with that book if all numbers are stripped?
