The difference for the kepub is that the text appears to be encrypted and some have some javascript in them.
From this, the decision to do page numbers within chapters is design choice from Kobo. I suspect it has come about so that they don't have to decrypt the whole book at the start. This way they can decrypt one chapter file at a time, which will be faster to open the book and use less memory. For epubs, they have to be reading and formatting the whole book to be able to do the page numbering.

Thanks, I learned something. I guess I should have taken a look at the KePub files before I posted.
