I would go insane not knowing how many pages there were in the book (or with a Kindle-style progress bar at least)! One of my mp3 players gives me the actual numbers for the audiobook (1:52 of 8:06); the other just gives time elapsed, and get find I have to go check Audible books at times when I can't recall if the current file is 7 1/2 or 8 1/4 hours long.
As for not knowing plot details, I don't read as much fiction as non-fiction (did I mention how nerdy I can be yet?). Actually, I'm reading a book now solely based on liking the series ("No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency"), and was pleasantly surprised by a development that would likely have been mentioned in reviews, had I read those first (the "plot blurb" itself was rather vague).
