@HarryT -- well, they didn't want to mimic paper books in the view from the menu overlay. Nor did they mimic the paper book when it came to things like location, TLTR, annotations, TTS, search inside the book... in other words, this is an ebook, not a pbook, there is no fundamental goal to imitate the pbook. There is a fundamental goal to create a better reading experience.

And IMHO it would be a better reading experience to display the total page numbers as well. It certainly couldn't hurt, there is plenty of space there.
Steady on - I did say that my suggestion was a guess. I have no more idea why Amazon do things that way than anyone else does.
