That's because EPUB is a reflowable pageless format. Any "pages" are pseudo added by the reader software. Even the page count given by ADE is an Adobe invention and not part of the EPUB spec.

This really isn't useful. Calibre, and FBReader for instance use a single flow view by default. Writing for a specific reader app is a really bad idea. Also, ADE on the desktop rendering isn't guaranteed to be the same on a physical device. Not to mention different versions of ADE on devices can render differently.
