I too prefer the Sony (lrf) page numbering methodology. I like to know how far along I am in a book. A % complete is next to useless to me because without knowledge of how large the entire document is that fact that I have finished 50% could mean I have 50 screens of text left or 5,000. Without the "page x of y" type of reference I would not have any way to know how much progress I have made into a document or book.
I really don't mind waiting for the calculations to be performed when a book loads or I change font size. I would prefer to have that feedback and it is worth the time invested.
