For those of you who missed the topic, there was a topic called "Sick of Amazon Kindle books without Page Numbers".
I went into quite a bit of the nitty gritty in Posts #129 and beyond (although I would recommend reading the entire topic):

Side Note: In the above topic, I also brought in the (in my mind) heavily related topic of Indexes + Referencing in ebooks as well.

I had a chat with Faterson over PM. Page Numbering is a topic he is extremely passionate about (as am I).
There are quite a few alternate methods of "Page Numbering" in ebooks. In Post #166 I tried to categorize what I believe are the different methods:

Faterson is a proponent of what I categorized as the "Screen Numbering" method, while I argue strongly in favor for others (and try my best to lay out the Pros/Cons of the different methods).
I have been meaning to make a summarized post as a proposal to kguil, as I think Marvin (or any ereading program)
would benefit from being able to choose between alternative numbering schemes.
Plus I wanted to brainstorm + come up with good ideas for the details/variables/options (for example, Percentage displaying the tenths/hundredths place). I didn't want to just reiterate what was stated elsewhere.
I will probably be making that post in one of the other topics (or in a topic of its own).
