I, for one, am quite happy to not have page numbers. For one thing, as others have mentioned, leaving paper behind with all its silly "must number every page" rules, allows me to shuck all that dead weight (Think of all the TREES we're saving!). For another, if we had to have 'fixed' page numbers with fixed text sizes, no one would be able to swap on-the-fly to different sizes to meet different lighting and eyeglass changes.
