I do not see that this is a disadvantage.

would people be happier with "13.428%" instead of virtual page "190"? (I know Americans generally prefer whole numbers to percentages; I'm not sure about the rest of the world.)
I would not like that at all since you have no idea av the length of 1%. Optimal would be somethink like 156/987 were 987 is the total number of positions. It would be good if one position corresponded to the number of words on a page in a normal paper book.
