Thanks, AnemicOak, that explains a lot. I wasn't talking about page turns, by the way.

But now I am also reading that the generic definition of a page is 1024 bytes, not 1024 characters. I am not sure what the difference is?

For most books that you would get through B&N (let's say), would they use the "page map" function that ties to a print edition, or would the number of pages be calculated by the number of bytes or characters?

And why does Calibre's book viewer calculate the number of pages so differently than my Sony Reader does?
