I still don't understand what you find valuable about that sort of metric, given how arbitrary it is, in comparison to all the other arbitrary metrics out there, but I don't suppose I will get a good explanation any time soon anyway.  |
I happen to like knowing how many 'page' turns particular book or chapter will have (how many times will I be paging forward?). At this point it also gives me a fairly good idea of length as I've been using the same device for some time.
I haven't spent enough time with other clearly defined 'pages' so I can't say the same for them. Pages based on paper editions are annoying when I don't know the size of the paper edition in question.
Going back to Marvin, it would be nice to have a clear distinction between types of 'page' counts.
