I do not know if this has been continued with the current product as I haven't seen one.

I'm not disagreeing with you as I've got consistency across all my epub devices.
As to the Sony implementation; I'm currently on Page 7-8 of 316 according to my T1. You may not get screen sub-numbers but at least you can understand you are going to change pages.
No matter what solution anyone chooses so as to get perfect page numbering on their device, it will only be good for a single set of parameters and cannot be 100% successful on other devices or for other people.
ADE's solution is a compromise, but a compromise that can provide a consistant parameter/device/person agnostic method of displaying page numbers.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it works.
