On the Kndle DX each book is represented with a series of dots under each title, so it is easy to compare the relative lengths of different books. When reading a specific title you can see the percent read, and each chapter is marked on the bottom of the screen to let you know how far you need to go to get to the next chapter.

I like the way this all works, but like Bob Russell, I too would like to know how this translates to a typical printed page. I realize that each book would be different based on font size and formatting, but we could probably approximate a book size based on word count and maybe an estimate of 300 words per page.
