You have forgotten that Kobo still supports the RMSDK for reading epubs. They have not changed the page numbering in that. Only for kepubs. For epubs, the page numbering is the same as on a tolino.
People keep saying "use epub", but my primary use of the Kobo is to read synced library books and I cannot choose to get those as epubs.

So I find myself reading with a bigger font than I would really like because the next size down is too small. It's a bigger problem when I've been reading on the PocketBook 615, because it has about the perfect size for Constantia (for me, 10 point) and three times as many font size choices (24 instead of 8, the PocketBook goes from 6 point to 30 point). Both the PocketBook and Tolino take custom fonts... so does the Kobo (sorry for losing tract). I use Constantia on about everything.

(I've added a screen grab image to show what 10 pt. Constantia looks like on the PocketBook 615.)
I wish e-readers would let us specify a numerical point size. This would take care of my issues with the Kobo page numbering too - if I could set all my books to 10 pt (or whatever number is comfortable for me) then seeing how many screens are left would mean something, and all my books would be comparable. As it is, the available font sizes don't always seem to be the same from book to book, and if I change the font up or down by one size - whatever random sizes those may be - the page (screen) count for the book can go up or down by 50 or more pages.
