Yes, "pages" would be fine to get an idea of the total length of the book. And it's very easy to calculate the total number of ADE-style pages, so one could have "95.00% of 20 pages" or "1.00% of 1900 pages" (both are "page 19"). Better yet, don't use the word "page", as it's misleading, maybe something like "block".

And having the relative position inside the current "chapter" is also a very useful feature, at least for the books that have chapters.
