I don't take it quite this far
but I do tend to refer to pbooks by percentages instead of page numbers.
If someone asks where I'm at in a book I'll rough estimate it - "About halfway done" or "I've got about a quarter to go". I wouldn't say I'm on page 142, 'cause that's meaningless to the person who asked. It doesn't give a clear picture of how much of the book I've read.
