It is based off a specific print edition, and I believe usually the hardcover. But yeah, once you've read a lot using the ADE calculation, you get a feel for how long it is. At least it is consistent.
Although I wonder -- do you then get thrown off by the differences between the ADE count and the books with Page-maps?

As for the time left, that can be wildly inaccurate deepening on how you are reading. Sometimes I read in bed and the time left would be less. Sometimes I read while watching TV and the time left would be more. Getting interrupted without putting the Reader to sleep would give you yet another time. So unless you sit and read the same way in that book, the time left is not always accurate.

Well, YMMV but I usually read while reading
and find it to be fairly accurate. Besides, the main idea behind checking page numbers is usually to find out how long you have left to read.
The Kindle updates based on your current reading speeds.
It works for me, not saying it works for everybody...
