What Jon said is not quite accurate since there are several modifications to the basic 1024 compressed bytes being a page. The only real advantage to using them is that those numbers are consistent across devices regardless of screen size, font, font size, line spacing, margins, etc. See the Wiki entry
Page numbers if you are looking for more information or just suffer from insomnia.
As for any discussions about page numbers, they seem to end in a "holy war" about how to calculate them, should they be tied to a "golden" paper book's page numbers, etc.
Read, enjoy, use page number or percentages to give you some idea of how far in the book you have read.
