Maybe I should have said "faster the battery usage".

True, that would be nice - but I've gotten accustomed to thinking in percentages anyway. What I'd really like is an "X pageturns left in chapter" display, like iBooks has on my iPad. That way, it'd be easier for me to decide whether to read One More Chapter or put the book down for the night...
Which is what the kepub renderer does. It's page count is actually screens count and changes with the font and other settings. And the count is for the current chapter. There is an option to show it for the full book, but that uses a method similar to epubs.
