I didn't see a response to your questions but the answer is one page equals 1024 bytes of content.
Thanks for the info, grooks.
So in essence, Sony (or the epub format) chose a different (larger) arbitrary number to represent a "reference point" in a book and gave it the name "page". But it no more corresponds to the actual page number of the printed text than Amazon's "location" does.

So basically, it all boils down to semantics and preference:
Smaller numbers that may stay unchanged for 3,4, or 5 virtual page turns? Or bigger numbers that may have more than one entry on each virtual page?

Flip a coin I'd say... I rarely look at the numbers anyway.
