I much prefer page numbers rather than just a percentage location within the book, but that wouldn't stop me from reading a book. With just a slider indicating location or percentage, you have no way of knowing if 23% through the book is based on 50 or 5000 pages, and that's the only reason I want to see a page number.
The page number doesn't have to be accurate or magically matched up precisely with hard copies or even using ADE's algorithm, I just want some indication of the length of the book that the percentage is based on so I know my rough reading time to finish the book.
