The purpose of the on-screen page number is to indicate exactly were the "page" starts (accurate to one line of text). So they can appear anywhere vertically on the screen. This makes more sense when it is a "physical" page (e.g. from the paper version of the book) than when it is Adobe's "character count" pages.

I don't regard the page numbers as annoying enough to stop using ADE, but they can disrupt the flow of reading. I don't understand why Adobe does not include a option to toggle the page number display on and off. This is one of the many indications that mobile ADE isn't designed to be used. It is designed to appeal to the producers of ePubs, not to readers of ePubs.
