I do not think it is the numer of bytes you have read but the number of bytes up to the current file position which is not the same for an HTML file.
The book I did my "paging vs. jumping" test on was illustrated, and there were a couple of pictures in the bit I paged through. I wonder if that might have contributed to the rather extreme error I found (14 pages in 52)? I'm about to go to bed now, but I'll repeat the experiment in the morning with a book that doesn't have any pictures, and see if it's any more accurate.
