And given that even in print books, the page number vary all over the place -- hard cover, paperback, large print, 1st, 2nd, however many editions-- they are useless for most purposes anyways. "Sir, page 427 in my copy of Whosit and Whatsit's Introduction to Chordate Anatomy does not mention notochords" as a real life example from a few years back.

Generally, I just use the % read as my guide to how much is left in an ebook.
