So if you're choosing between three or four different books, do you open each one on your reader to see what the page count is?

Kobo should give you an estimate of how long it will take you to read the book (I believe. As mentioned, I really don't use this feature much).

And I still "see" (and think) printed books when I sit down to read eBooks. Wasn't the whole point of an eInk eReader to emulate the printed reading experience? Isn't page count one of those features.

Yes, and if I were reading a book where turning from one page (screen) to the next left me at page 288 and then the next page was numbered as page 290, I would think the book wasn't put together very well.
E-ink emulates the reading experience. That's not the same as saying it has to exactly duplicate some particular edition of the paper book when it comes to page count.
