I like the scheme used by Moon+ reader. It shows a count of screens instead of page numbers. For novels where there's not usually a need to make references this seems nearly perfect.
It can show the number of pages in the book and the number left till the end of the book like this (152/42) or it can be chapterized and show the number of pages in the chapter and the number left to go. It also gives a percentage for the book. This is the method I use.
A page of course means a screen full of text. Change the margins or line font size and the count changes. I rarely change these things so I'm getting constant and accurate information on where I am and how close I am to the end of the chapter. This lets me keep reading if I'm near the end of the chapter instead of stopping when I get the urge to stop.
