With the Hanlin when reading fb2 formatted books, the pages increase/decrease depending on your selected font size, but that's fine with me. I select the font size at the start of reading a book and stick with it through the entire book. So I cannot really understand why this would be a sufficient reason to not display page counts. If you change then font, then you have to accept the page numbers will be slightly out, but if you don't it would work fine.
The only thing I'd like to see beyond the current page 30/500, would be some indication as to how many pages are left to the end of the chapter. 30/500 (52) for example, to indicate the chapter ends on page 52 (or begins, either would be fine).
Of course this would only work where there is some kind of break within the book format that could be reliably used. Still, I'd find it very useful as it's harder to flick through the remaining pages to see how many you have left to read in that chapter with an eInk device than it is a physical book. Often I'll read just a few more pages to finish a chapter off when I know I'm near the end.

If you are
that desperate, you could always buy the pback version and then you can check in that as to how far you are in the ebook...
