It is possible. I don't know if word counts is good, though. Consistency is only one factor of good systems and good UIs.
Word count is not as convenient as ADE page numbers. Plus, it takes longer to count words. ePub on both Kobo and nook use ADE page numbers and because ADE page numbers are the same on both devices, you just go to the same page number on either device and you are back reading where you left off.
