It is possible to use a paper book's pages as Adobe ePub pages, by adding a page-map file that looks like the following (from Adobe's EPUB Best Practices Guide):
Code:
<page-map xmlns=”http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf”>
<page name=”” href=”OPS/cover.xhtml”/>
<page name=”i” href=”OPS/preface.xhtml”/>
<page name=”ii” href=”OPS/preface.xhtml#pg_ii”/>
<page name=”iii” href=”OPS/preface.xhtml#pg_iii”/>
<page name=”1” href=”OPS/chapter1.xhtml”/>
<page name=”2” href=”OPS/chapter1.xhtml#pg_1”/>
<page name=”3” href=”OPS/chapter1.xhtml#pg_2”/>
<page name=”4” href=”OPS/chapter2.xhtml”/>
<page name=”5” href=”OPS/chapter2.xhtml#pg_1”/>
</page-map>
If this file isn't present, then Abobe uses its "fake page" algorithm for pages. My impression has been that the page-break file is rarely present, but I don't typically have a paper version to compare to.
