Even the Kindle (at least the E-ink ones?) won't show page-in-chapter, although firmwares more recent than the ones available for my KT (the PW1 and on support this) allow you to
put the pages-in-book into the left corner instead of restricting it to the menu overlay (when you tap on the top of the screen).
Can you confirm that the Kindle app for iOS shows "page # of # in chapter" (or something to that effect)? It seems a rather odd thing to calculate, and according to the online help
the Android app cannot do that either. But the help page for the iOS app is silent on the issue.
Personally I find Time Left to Read much more useful than page numbers, and that works for chapter and for the whole book.
EDIT: Here is a thread discussing the issue:

Seems the Kobo supports
page turns* left in book/chapter.
That would of necessity require recalculating the size every time you change the font size. User, meet lag. Lag, meet user.
I still prefer Time Left to Read.
* -- I believe this is fairly standard for pagenumbering, aside from the Kindle which only ever uses Real Page Numbers. Page numbers are a relic of pbooks, and the only context IMHO it is useful is when comparing to a pbook. That makes it extra-extra far-far-worse than useless when it makes a random guess and lies about it being the "page number". So put me down for an extra vote of Time Left to Read.
