As an aside, I believe that EEPROM is also organized in pages but the
processor takes care of the read/modify/write process (if required) so
that it is mostly transparent.

One situation where knowing the page organization is important is if
you're implementing a wear-leveling strategy.  Although I've not seen
official documentation of this, I've seen information suggesting that
the write cycle limit for AVR EEPROM applies to each page rather than
to individual bytes.
