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.
This is a feature of LRF files on the Sony devices. When they went to ePub this went away. Having used both, I much prefer to have an estimated number of pages than how many more screens are left till the end of the book. Since I use a larger font because of my older eyes. The difference was huge. the epub would say 450 pages the lrf file would say 3800 more turns or screens. I just could never wrap my head around the 3800 number and my brain hurt less with the 450 page number. But that's just me.

I think Amazon adding a print page number feature is great for students and user_none implementing a pseudo numbering system is also a great benefit for many users who have expressed a desire for such a feature.
