I'd prefer each screen counting as a page, the way kepub works.

Pretty much this. I can see the logic that led to the "pages" thing in ePub, but even then, you still have to make sure you're comparing the same version of the eBook! I'm also skeptical that there is a strong need for this functionality. My impression is that eBooks-as-textbooks never really took off, and that the vast majority of eReader use is for personal use.
And even if you did want to make references that are independent of screen/font size, pages are the wrong way to go about it. They're an anachronism, plain and simple. "Locations", as Amazon uses them, are a superior marker. (Locations also allow the Kindle to have more accurate position syncing between devices.)
I just want one screen to equal one page, dammit!
Anyway, after doing some more reading, I've thought of one more like and one more dislike.
Like:
* The light is
yellow, not red. This looks far more natural to me, and I like the color a lot more than I like the color of my KA1.
Dislike:
* No book cover + reading progress while the device is sleeping.
