But the problem with this is that this would mean the "pagination" would depend on the screen size and the font size. A big font size would contain less words per page, thus more overall "pages" as you read the book.
The EPUB file standardizes this by creating actual pages, like a real book. But as you increase your font size or change screen sizes, you will end up with a page that spans across 1 or more eReader "screen flips." Alternatively, if you are using a very small font size or you have a huge screen, you could have multiple pages displayed on the screen. I get what you are saying in terms of feeling like you are making progress, but I much prefer how EPUB files standardize page numbering.
