You and I might be using completely different reading devices. If I'm reading the book on my 25" PC monitor with Windows ADE, and you're reading it on your 5" Sony PRS-350, the "screen pages" will bear no relation to each other. The ADE page numbers, however, will still be the same on our two machines.
