I think it is great that user_none etc has made the effort to add this so quickly, well done.
However unless I am missing something I see the only value this feature has is to give a user a rough mental guide as to how many relative "pages" various books on your device may have.
The only additional value Amazon's implementation of page numbers offers is to researchers/students who want to specify a reference, which of course this Calibre feature could at best only roughly estimate.
What Amazon keep avoiding is reflected in the questions by 3rdDegree and mirror my own desires of a "page turn" number which actually has meaning to the rest of us who read books on the Kindle. I could care less about the number of pages in the printed book. What I do care about is how many more times I have to click the next page button to get to the end of the book, or as 3rdDegree has said the end of the chapter. This "page turn" number should reflect the font sizes etc.
I apologise if I am digressing - of course it is not a Calibre issue nor in any way possible to implement. It is an Amazon/Kindle one. I just find it interesting the approach that Amazon have taken in response to lots of us bleating about what a nonsense "location numbers" were.
