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.
A pBook doesn't allow for changing the font size. So when you go to page 20, you get the same text. If the page number changes based on the text size on the screen, it's useless. I cannot then go to page 20 on my Reader and page 20 on the computer and be at the same page.
