They have chosen to implement each screen as a page so what could be more logical than to have a screen number for each screen. As a bonus, since a computer is presenting these screens, it can calculate the total number of screens in the book (give the current font size & spacing) and display that number as part of the "page number" i.e. page 100 of 300.

Unfortunately that's completely useless for referring to a point in the book. Your page 125 is almost certainly not going to be the same as somebody else's page 125. Why do you actually care how many screens you've gone through?
