I think it depends on what device one* uses.
I started out with Sony LRF; a page-is-a-screen device. It made sense to me and I liked it.
Than I tried epub and read about epub and I didn't mind the page numbers in the middle of a screen. Seemed a little funky, but it made sense so I didn't care.
I went to a Nook; epub.
Than I went to Kobo and EPub. It had page-is-screen for chapters and epub-pages for total length. I prefered page-is-screen because I check chapter progress more than total book progress.
Than Kobo updated the firmware, and made chapter progress by page-is-a-screen more difficult, so now I use time for chapter progress.
There used to be a lot of posts by first time epub users about "I turned the page and the page number didn't change".
I also don't normally need to reference or sync across ereaders.
I would think it wouldn't be uncommn for a new ebook user to expect page-is-a-screen.
* Did I use "one" correctly?
