Nothing to do with the page number in the books. It's the page number in the library. Say, your Aura says you have 314 pages in your library. Care to swipe up to 157 times to get to any page in the libary (157 forward or 157 back) since the Aura does not have a slider to change pages in the library view. Instead you tap on the Page x of 314 near the top of the display and then type 215 using the keyboard that has popped up. Hit Go and you're on page 215 of your library display.

A long press on the book title (it's in italics so try a long press...) will pop up the usual view details/mark as finished/add to shelf/delete menu. Details does show the file size but not the page count. Though remembering the page count on an epub is based on the number of 1024 byte blocks on compressed data per chapter file, you'd have to open the file and scan each of the chapter files to determine the number of pages. Simply looking at the file size does not allow for those books that are mostly images -- the Barnes & Noble version of Vanity Fair clocks in at 21+ megabytes. Unfortunately, a horrendous amount of that space is used by repeated images -- 69 flipping copies of the vignette used in the chapter heading alone. Could someone have said why not reuse one copy of the image?
