Yes, that's why I said than page numbers would only be accurate to +/-1 at most. I don't think I'd need page numbers "per se", but some better estimation of how much I have read and how much I still have to read (until the end of the book, end of the story, end of the chapter...). Seeing the progess bar is at ~75% is something, but does not tell how many "pages" or "screens" (in the current font and layout settings) that means, and that's what I would need to have the feeling of "how much" I have to read.
I'd also like to point out that knowing the length of the story or chapter does not affect my enjoyment of it, but it tells me whether it's worth to start reading it today or wait until tomorrow, if I should stop here and go to sleep or wait until I finish it, etc. In my PDFs I add a progress bar for each chapter in addition to the global one, and I find it very useful.
