While I don't have a Kindle, the biggest thing that held me back was no page numbers. I think that's a good idea that they are doing there.

Page numbers have never worried me.... I would only ever look at them, if I needed to remember where I was and couldn't find a book mark.. A page number tells you nothing, unless you know how many pages the book has..
It is useful, if you have to refer to a specific page in a book, but I only ever just read on my kindle. |

Page numbers aren't useless, they tell you how long you have till the end, as well as what you stated above.
Just because you don't particularly care for them, doesn't mean they are useless. |

Interesting, but none of these features will be useful to me.

When reading mobi, no page number. Then with ePub, you get the pages numbers from ADE. And when reading on my archos with aldiko that don't have them, i realized i did miss them.

I like page numbers for things like Good Reads updates, Book Club discussions and references when speaking with my friends who have also read the book.
