Were did I say you should "use epubs"? I was pointing out that your blanket statement that Kobo only uses per-screen page numbering was not true. The full-book page counting method has only changed for kepubs, nothing else.

But, why can't you use epubs for you library books? They come from Overdrive, so you can download them using ADE and add them to the device. Yes, more steps, but, if the Adobe page numbering is important to you, then you can do it.

But, if the point is to get a relative length of the books, there are other sources for page or word counts. Goodreads, Kobo and Amazon show them. Some non-English have them as well. And, in any case, if you open the book and change the font settings to your preferred ones, the page count shown is comparable to any other kepub opened on the same sized device with the same settings.
