I'm confused. You have a DRM free ePub (meaning a free ePub with DRM on top) or you have a DRM-free ePub?

Because if there's any form of DRM you'd have to remove it first before attempting any modifications.

My guess is that the scan areas weren't properly cropped for the OCR process and so the page numbers got mixed in with the text. It's probably why you see them in the middle of the pages. If it doesn't have any DRM applied to it you can skim the book (either in Sigil or pretty much any text editor) and remove them manually. The page numbers from those "Kobo store" books are calculated by font size - which is the default behaviour for the ePub format. If you increase the font size there will be more pages, if you decrease it (so that more text fits on the screen) you'll have less pages.
