Ie. you only get the number of pages for the sections and not the whole book when you flip through.

It is up to the book's creator and/or software they use to create the book. It is not uncommon to see separate files for each chapter. And large chapters might be divided into multiple files. If you notice that paging ahead is going normal speed inside a chapter then it slows way down as you page to the first page of the next chapter, that is a good indication that a new HTML file had to be loaded.
What many here call footnotes are actually endnotes in most cases, as footnotes are not really feasible with reflowable material without some sort of rendering mechanism and that is currently not available. So the notes are generally placed in another HTML file or at the end of the HTML file if only one exists. If they are in another file, then accessing them from the reference link is going to take time as the notes HTML file has to be loaded.
