Having a screen number is EXACTLY the same as page numbers on a physical book. You know the total number of pages, the page you're on, and the amount of text on a page.

Depending on your reading scenario this information can be vital, and it's always useful.

I can understand if you don't care to follow your progress through a book but I can't understand why anyone would think that it's not something a lot of readers benefit from greatly.
