I seem to be in the minority here...I actually am happy with the change Kobo made to the per book page numbers. For whatever reason, I like the page numbers to represent the number of screens and the fact that total "pages" changes whenever I increase or decrease the font size. Maybe this a leftover preference from my early e-reader days with the Sony readers. That's the way Sony counted pages when using their proprietary LRF format--before they updated their readers to handle ePubs.
But, I have noticed that the Kobo implementation of pages/screens per book isn't precise. I haven't read a lot since upgrading my firmware, but in the little I have read I've noticed that every 8 to 10 screens the page number will remain the same for two screens.
I can see where people would like to have consistent page numbers so they can manually sync between devices--but this isn't a concern for me. My two main devices are a Kobo and a Kindle--and both have different page numbering systems (both now and before the latest Kobo update). It really isn't hard for me to sync between devices without relying on page numbers--I just go to the correct chapter and scroll until I find where I left off on my other device.
