The "made-up" page count has the advantages of not changing with font size changes, of being consistent for the same book across devices, and consistent with other books in terms of objective length. But sure, let's watch that number change with each flip. And exactly why? Because it's a preference carried forward from pbooks.

Sigh.
I do sometimes look at the page count for the chapter to decide if I have time to read the chapter.
