How many characters you will actually see on a displayed 'page' actually depends significantly on the formatting style implemented when the epub was created.

I've played with reformatting an epub and changes in font size, line spacing and margins using a stylesheet don't seem to have much of an effect on the page numbers displayed. Recompressing the epub using an external archiver does have an effect as does changing the contents of the chapter files to modify the styles.
Still, I generally keep the page numbers in right margin turned off as I find them pretty useless.
