I like my kindle books to have page numbers. Lately only about 1 in 3 seem to have them though. Its just personal thing. I don't care if it matches any other editions, that is now why I like them. For me its a reading guide. In paperbooks I could see just by the chunk of pages read/unread where I was in the book.
With kindles I got used to having locations. But really, what I loved the most and still do is the bottom progress reading bar. The one that goes across with the dots for chapters. Unfortunately they took that one away on newer kindles and I still would like the option back. They could just make it a option in the rotation like the others. But oh well. So closest for me as when the started having pages. So I set it to pages on left and it has the percentage on right. Not as good as progress bar, but I'll work with what I got. Those books not having pages, I set to time left in book. I kind of know how long it takes me to read a book and its quite accurate.
Its really just a preference thing for me, I like a visual cue to where I am in the book. Not a deal breaker of course, but I like what I like.
