When I set the Sony to Medium font size and it shows the pages at the bottom, page 1 is the first page and the last page is the last page number it displays.

So, it is how many pages it takes to display on the Sony at the current font size. Page=Full Screen of text. So no, I would not say it is "arbitrary".

Frankly I don't care either way... as long as the reader remembers the last page I read and brings me back to the page when I choose the book from the menu I would be fine with no page or progress indicator.

I just objected to your black and white "It's Insane" to show page numbers on a ebook reader device.
