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."
This is not about the page count for when you are reading, it's about the page count so you have a good idea of how long the eBook may be.

Percent is no good as 100% is useless. Time left is useless as that depends on how long the eBook is and how fast you read. So unless you've read enough of the eBook for the time left to give you a reliable enough number, it's no good. The 1 page = 1 screen also doesn't work because you don't know how many pages there are. And finallt ADE page numbers. They work best because out of the box, they give the most accurate measure.
