I don't really get it. Is there a way to make it just go 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.?

Nope, primarily because there is no such thing as a "page" in an ebook.
Different ereaders using different formats approach this issue in different ways. What you are seeing is a translation of some printed version's page numbering which doesn't match the screen display on your ereader. When you alter the font size on your ereader, different amounts of text fit a single screen which will alter what page or pages the text on that screen came from.
Some formats (e.g. the various Mobipocket formats, AZW, MOBI, PRC) don't reference any printed version. Instead, they simply count a fixed size block of text, as measured in characters, and display that as the "Location". These numbers are more precise than the "page" references, with several locations being displayed on a single screen at most text sizes, and, like the "page" method, are a consistent reference regardless of display device and its settings.
It would be possible for an ereader the display a screen number, but those numbers would be of little use as they wouldn't be the same if you changed the text size.
