This is one of the reasons me and my daughter love our eReaders: We don't run out of books to read! Ever! She travels a lot, backpacking, and B.e. (Before eReader) she could only bring a couple of paperbacks, and had to kind of "save" them to last (and of course they were finished way before she wanted to). Now she can bring as many books as she wants!
I wouldn't dream of keeping any kind of statistics over page counts, so my previous estimates are from recalling what books I read lately and also estimating number of pages.
Don't most readers give page numbers? All the devices I've tried display "real" page numbers, not just "screen" numbers. (The "real" is of course not completely true, but at least in the balllpark.) I do look at the number of pages in a book to estimate how long I will need to spend on it, since I have rough ideas how much time I need for different types of content. I go between different font sizes, so I wouldn't want "screen counts" to replace page count.
