Also, I find it difficult to get an idea of how far through a book I am because there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how many page turns it takes before the displayed page number advances. Sometimes it will say I am on the same page even though I have turned the page 2 or 3 times while other times it only takes 1 page turn and the displayed page number changes.

This is probably a "feature", rather than a bug. The page number in FBReader is based on a fixed number of bytes per page, not on how much text is currently displayed per screen. So it is possible for the page number to jump by 2 (or not change at all) after a page turn.
The advantage of this is that the page number is independent of the font size (and the device). The disadvantage is that it isn't very similar to how we expect page numbers to behave.

So, there is a "rhyme" and a "reason".
Personally, I like this way much better than having the page numbering change on different reading devices and font sizes.
