i am trying and failing to find page details with those suggested methods...
I see my book thumbnails on the recent list, which I can switch to an expanded view by tapping "more" at the right edge, I can then also select edit book information, but all I can find are reading stats, % read, storage location... nothing about pages

so I get title, author, time spent reading x.x hours. nnn w/m , a date range ( for whan book has been on device? and the book info text
the 3 dots menu offers: edit book info, add to favourites, send file, shortcut to home screen download book cover, remove from recent list
maybe your method only works if the books asre on a moon+ shelf, which is a feature I do not use ?
i do not get what you get if i press left of mini status bar,
my mini bar hows battery %, time, current page numbers for current chapter ( x2 as I am in 2 column mode) and a nn.n% on the right
pressing the extreme left of my min bar is like a long press on a word, it being up the copy, highlight, note, dict, more... panel. pressing anywhere else brings up my bookmarks
I suspect we have differently customised out respective installs?
mini status bar preferences are set on control options screen

UPDATE. ok yes, if i change my control option preference for my mini status bar so that press left brings up book info, I get a big book info display which does contain the pages stuff as you say, and also stuff like chars in book, words in book,. that is NOT in the book info accessed via the recent list. Strange that that other book info is only a subset of available information

so your method is good,with the added proviso that use has not tweaked the relevant preference
