The screen size is fixed and known. The xhtml page for that chapter is known. Why is it so hard to calculate how many screen flips to view that entire chapter, instead of the "screen flip 3 times to increase page number" method.
My experience with the Libra 2 is that the longer the chapter, the more screen flips to increase page number. The shorter the chapter, and pages are skipped - you suddenly jump from 1 of 3 to 3 of 3, with page 2 not existing.

Bu the number of screen flips depends on the size of your font, line spacing, margins and so on. It's not a fixed number.
I've not paid any attention to page numbers while reading, I have them disabled, so I have no idea how they behave.
