It would be nice to see how many pages are left in the current chapter. With a real book, I frequently flip ahead to see how many pages are left in the current chapter. Just to see whether it is worthwhile to push through to the next chapter break, or get back to real life whether that means going to sleep or saying to the wife "I'll get to that in a second, I've just got a few pages left".

I strongly second this idea. I'm not "forcing" myself to finish a book or anything like that, but I when I stop reading, I like to break at the end of a chapter. It makes the book flow better for me. While I would love to have the leisure of being able to read entire books in one sitting, I rarely get the opportunity.
I don't think I'd particularly care how many total pages are left but then that's something I always have a feel for with a paper book since I can see the physical thickness of the remaining pages. Maybe I would miss it if it were gone but I'm guessing it'll be less important to me than chapter progress. I suppose that could be a nifty user-settable preference, though. It seems an easy thing to implement for those that want it and folks that want that extra line on the screen could turn it off.
