1 page = 1 screen works best for me. Yes, changing the font size, etc changes page count, like it would in any physical book. But it is exceedingly rare to mess with those things while in the middle of reading a book. So you still know about how long it will take you to read.

The page count debate is old and settled. Some like the kepub way, some like Adobe page numbers, some like percentage, some like time left. As they said in Diff'rent Strokes "What might be right for you, may not be right for some."
