Why can't an e-reader have both options?
I'd much rather it display pages by screen, not by characters. A book does it the same way. It doesn't count characters for page numbers; it just numbers whatever happens to be on each page.
For me anyway, I think it's a much better indicator of how much is left in a book if I knew the pages by screen, because I can estimate how fast I'm reading each page to estimate how much longer the book will take. True, I can do that with pages by characters, but it's more complicated.
I can see how some who read on multiple platforms may like pages by characters, but I generally use just one, and I'd much rather pages by screen.
