Although both numbers can vary due to factors such as screen size, font size, line spacing, and so on, it would give you a clear indication of how far you have progressed in the ebook, and how far you have to go. I think this would be less confusing than a numbering system where a "page" could be 2, 3, 4, or more screens of information, with each new page starting somewhere on the screen.

I think that is a terrible idea. Not only is AFAIK useless information (Kindle Time Left to Read FTW) it would require recalculating the entire book any time one of those variable factors changed, which slows the device down from doing what I want it to do --
read.
