Page: Characters
1: 1-1024
2: 1025-2048
3: 2049-3072
4: 3073-4096

Meaning if the screen is displaying characters 1536-2560, the status would show 2-3. The upside of this is page numbers are fixed regardless of font size. So say, you're at the doctor's and you start reading a book on the PRS-350 and stop at page 100. If you wish to continue reading on the PRS-650 when you get home, then you just go to page 100 and you're more or less where you left off on the PRS-350 despite the difference in screen size.

On my PRS-350 with small font, 1 ADE page usually equals 3 screen refreshes.
Great explanation which I shall shamelessly use to explain similiar question from a friend of mine. He wants his page numbers to change with font size.

Hyphenated page numbers don't upset me.
Me I just use page numbers to see where I am at (can I finish book before I nod off or should I just stop now) or I have read 100 pages and I am pretty uninterested, should I continue because there are only 17 more pages or quit because there are 1199 more pages. (Of course I should probably quit anyway).
Other than that I don't actually look at the page numbers.
