Of course, I think the chapter graph in kepubs is great, and it is almost enough to convert me, but, I'm not that great a fan of the per-chapter page numbering.

I don't actually do that (checking each chapter's number of pages and adding them all up). From now on, I might suggest to friends to check the book in a bookshop if they really want to have a true idea of its size
The graph is fun, yes, but it's the per-chapter page numbering that is the real advantage, so if you're not using it, I can see why you wouldn't switch to KePubs, however aren't you bothered about the slower page turns (you said they're faster after all the firmware updates, but still slightly slower than KePub)?
I find that the general responsiveness of the reader is the most important factor in the reading experience, much more than any page numbering or other details.
Anyhow, each to his own. The main thing we all share is the love of reading...
