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.

Generically they're 1024 characters when nothing tell it any different, but an ePub can also be marked up so that the page numbers correspond to the page numbers in a print edition instead (you'll still have any given number of 'screens' per page of course).
