http://blog.threepress.org/2009/11/2...-ncx-pagelist/ explains how pages are determined, at least in the Adobe system which most ereaders and ereading software uses.
Short version: an epub will either use a complicated system called a "page map" or, when the page map doesn't exist, declare a new page every 1024 characters.
Sadly, few ereaders and software will do a page count based on page turns (which would be determined by your current font settings and the formatting inside the epub itself), and will instead just display the current Adobe page you're on, even if it takes 3-4 page turns to get through the "page".
