Funny, but that is one of my favorite features of fbreader. It lets me know how far I am in a book, and I can gauge my progress with each page turn. If the page numbers are static, no matter what font size you use, you wind up with the odd situations of being on page 17 for several page turns, spending time on "page" 17-18, or having one page turn really turn more than a single page.

If I want to know where I am in a book to pass along or to read from a different source I note what chapter I'm in and the first sentence of a paragraph.
