I checked Amazon and that's for the print book. I looked last night, and on my Nook Tablet, as an ebook, the count is 949.
If you are looking for the equivalent of 1,000 printed pages, I think you will have difficulty finding what you want. There is no equivalency between print and ebook "pages".
A standard measure in the publishing industry for determining a "page" is 250 words (regardless of word length) = 1 page. Applying that standard, you would need to find an ebook of at least 250,000 words. I think that will greatly limit the field, especially among indies.
Forgetting indies, and just going by length, James Clavell's
Shogun would meet your length criteria. Amazon says it is 1152 pages "based on the print edition". I realize that Clavell is not an indie author, but my point is that today it is very rare for publisher's or indie authors to publish fiction of that length. Instead, they break the books into parts and sell a series. It produces greater revenue, assuming it sells, and in the case of print editions, at much lower costs. (Binding costs are problematic for 1,000+ page print books.)
If you use as your search term at Amazon "1000 page books", it brings up 9 results, not all books, and none actually meet your criteria. However, here is one that apparently does:
http://www.amazon.com/Turn-the-page-...00+page+ebooks. It is estimated to be 1004 pages, with Amazon saying that estimated means "The estimated length is calculated using the number of page turns on a Kindle, using settings to closely represent a physical book."
There is on Amazon a XXX ebook that is estimated at 737 pages
