I thought the page numbers were set by the epub file, where does ADE come into it? If I remove the DRM (and thus take ADE out of the equation), the page numbers are still going to be the same.

I know that the page numbers CAN be tied to the number of pages in the print file. I did a test of creating an epub file from an InDesign file, I just wanted to try it out. When my InDesign file was 15 pages, my epub was 15 pages. When I changed the page size such that my InDesign file was now 25 pages (same amount of text), the epub created from that file was also 25 pages. So in this case, it was pegged to the "print version."

I have also noticed the huge discrepancy in how Calibre's file view calculates number of pages and I wasn't sure why that is.
