- tap screen to show in-book menu
- tap navigation icon (<->)
- tap next chapter icon (>>) and note page no.
- tap back icon (curly arrow) and note current page no.
- mentally subtract one from the other to get no. of pages* to next chapter
- tap screen to hide menu again

Easily do-able but not exactly 'slick'

* where one-page means the normal Adobe-style page, not one-screenful.
When the Nook got rid of the page numbers in the TOC I had to do something like that. It was annoying so I found a way of reverting back to the old software and now refuse to upgrade. I think the kepub plugin will work nicely for what I need, especially since it uses dynamic page numbers not Adobe's static ones.
