You could also collect stats on percentage of pages you've viewed (i.e. read).
It doesn't seem worth the effort.
Only one of my EPUB lending sites quotes page count.
I don't know why the others are reluctant to quote that.
A number of times I've borrowed a book for seven days only to find that it's over 1000 pages or borrowed something that turned out to be 80 pages.

My guess concerning the absence of the total page numbers (based on my understanding of EPUB) is that with the EPUB format the total number of pages can vary based on factors like screen size, and the font (please correct me if I'm wrong). I've noticed that with EPUB e-books each "page" consists of multiple screens (such as three or four screens).
