I agree with DiapDealer wholeheartedly.
I think the current Kindle system is the best approach. "Pages" is only used when referencing a particular printed edition where real pages actually exist and "location" is used to reference the current location/position in the ebook (where pages don't exist). "Location" is consistant across all readers regardless of platform, screen size, and display settings.
For me, the progress bar is the most useful. I rarely pay any attention to the number of "locations" in a particular book. The progress bar gives me as good a reference to where I am in the book as is really needed, particularily when there are tick marks letting me know when I'm near the end of a chapter.
