This basically boils down to the fact that a page number is the page you're *on*. Meaning it's not counted in a "page left" counter. Which in turns means that "left" means what's off-screen. So, yeah, on the last page, that's 0.

This ties into a myriad of little things everywhere, so it's not something that can (nor should it be, quite frankly) changed lightly.
0 just doesn't work. It doesn't give you the correct number of pages. If the chapter is 12 pages, I get shows 11 pages and that's incorrect. The number of pages should be showing how many pages I have left to read. 1 means I have 1 page left to read. 0 means I have no pages left to read and not 1 page left to read.
