I can see where you are coming from. But then I wonder how many readers of ebooks read across devices? I would gamble that the vast majority that do aren't reading sideloaded books.
If you purchase a book from Kobo, read it on your reader (with wifi turned on) and occasionally read the same book in your app on the phone or your second Kobo reader, your reading position should sync.

ADE page numbers had the advantage of being consistent within a book, across devices and across my library as a whole, which let me estimate how much time I had left in a chapter and a book. As it turns out, I'm better at that than Kobo.

I'm also better at estimating time left. And one screen=one page makes it easier for me.
When I'm reading on my Nook and the slider says I have fifteen pages to go, as a user it's really more like 20-25. But I don't know precisely how many pages are left. When Kobo says I have fifteen pages to go, I have fifteen pages to go.
