A "page" in a reader that uses Adobe's ePub firmware is 1024 bytes
in the compressed file; the number of "pages" will therefore change if, for example, the level of compression of the file changes. This page definition is specific to Adobe's software; it certainly isn't a part of the ePub specification.

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

Because Calibre isn't using Adobe's ePub viewer.
