Page numbers in an ebook really aren't at all necessary for me when reading. I can understand some instances where they would be nice but they rarely apply to me.
I prefer the progress line at the bottom of the screen and a simple percent complete value. Although I would prefer it if the percent was based on actual book content and didn't include things like "bonus" chapters for other books.
Also, even though epubs default to showing a page number (unlike Amazon), it isn't necessarily tied to a specific print edition and defaults to 1 page = 1024 (+/-) characters, so will almost certainly not line up with any printed copy, so this is not an Amazon specific issue.

I find that 15 locations per page is about average for the books I read.
