 Some assupmptions on the page number sizes

 E-reader screen real-estate is an important resource.
 More available screensize means more details can be better seen, especially text.
 Text is one of the most important elements that need to be clearly readable on e-readers,
 which mostly are smaller devices where the need to zoom is unwanted.
 By cropping the page number on the bottom of the page, 2%-5% of the page height can be regained
 that allows us to upscale the image even more.
 - Most of the times the screen height is the limiting factor in upscaling, rather than its width.
    Parameters:
            img (PIL image): A PIL image.
            power (float): The power to 'chop' through pixels matching the background. Values in range[0,3].
