I think what we have here is clash of the definitions of 'pages'.

An epub 'page' is 1024 characters, no matter what the formatting of the original document is. It is independent of 'page turns'. Page turns change when you change the formatting, pages don't.

It's why epubs have page numbers in the margins, to denote the beginning of each new page.

If you load your file into your reader and change the font size, is it still 20 pages, or 20 page turns? The number of page turns will change, but the number of pages should be constant.
