I put my customized page count (based on characters per page) in the subtitle of the book; this way I can have a pretty good feel for the overall length. But I don't need page numbers to navigate in books and switch between them on different devices - there are other tools that, for me personally, fulfill this function just as well (the TOC, chapter hopping, text search).
I guess it depends on what you're used to. Years ago, I used to read the same book on a Kindle and a Kobo, and as Kindles don't use Adobe page numbers like epubs on Kobos, I had to find other ways for moving around in books. Now I have kepubs on my Sage and epubs on my Libra, which use a totally different page numbering scheme; so again, I don't depend on page numbers.
I'm also guessing if you're the type who has good memory for numbers, page numbers might seem to you the perfect way for navigating in a book. I never remembered page numbers even when I read paper books and relied on other methods, so for me page numbers have never played an important part.
