I convert most of my amazon books to epub and settle for that.
a kindle - with its puny cpu, would struggle to recalculate the pages left in some war and peace length tome in an acceptable number of minutes ( and it probably would be minutes, not seconds)
other apps I have seen with page counts use the adobe definition of page as a set number of character, which leads to the problems previously mentioned

my Kobo does it fine no matter how big the chapter is and it only takes a matter of seconds certainly not minutes. i'm using the kepub format because it's not an option in epub. i have no interest installing 3rd party apps etc i like to use the stock firmware only.
when i got my Kindle Basic (8th generation) i was very surprised and disappointed that the pages/screens in chapter wasn't a reading setting/option in the firmware. which is why like i said in my first post the Kindle Basic remains inside it's closed cover.
the way i see it is if the customer doesn't get what they want then they won't be a customer for very long.
as i often like to add each to their own of course.
best wishes koboy
