The same is true for page numbering based on word/character count, which Kobos unfortunately don't display (Kindles do, if you send the book from Calibre via USB). I find my custom page count actually more consistent than the Adobe one. Overall though, I care about page numbers only as the indicator for general length; I don't need them displayed while reading.

Of course this is a subject on which everyone and their brother has a firm opinion and so the argument is never going to stop.
