They could have both, a bar and a pair of numbers "42/327", even if the numbers are not real page numbers, but just estimated page numbers.

Now, the problem is what to do when the estimated page numbers are not accurate. Say the estimated page number is 327 but the real page number (the number of pages you have to skip to reach the end) is 350. I'd have no problem with the current "page number" not changing after pressing the "next page" button, so I would have two screens showing "page 42". That's certainly better than increasing the page number for every turn and enventually reaching page 330 of 327
