Hence scrolling a screens worth will unlikely to scroll exactly one page number.
There are some other things going on depending on the structure of the epub. The epub contains multiple files. If one of the, such as the title page or cover, contains less than 1000 characters, the contents of that file will probably be counted as one page. If you want to have a look yourself, you can use "Tweak epub" option to explode the contents or Sigil to edit them in a more friendly way. Or if the ebook is freely (and legally) available somewhere, post a link so someone can have a look.
The above is for epubs. I don't know enough about mobi or the Nook for Android app to comment on what is happening with those.

Thanks, DavidFor!
I knew the Calibre view was more like Kindle's "location", not really page numbers, but they jump really randomly. I'm going to release my mind, and my need to feel control over that! LOL. I appreciate that you took time to reply. As an aside, when I opened it in Nook on my MacBook Pro (which was no easy task... what a glitchy program! Yikes), the numbers were all but perfect, except for where it had to try to figure out the map I inserted. There it took a bigger jump, but the text area was correctly displayed.
Again, thanks.
