Given that epubs don't have fixed page sizes unless you have one of the few fixed layout/non-reflowable ebooks (possible under the EPUB3 standard but the few samples I've seen are not very usable and have a very poor user experience much like trying to use pdf files on an small eInk screen), showing page numbers in the table of contents would be very, very messy to implement. Even using the Adobe pseudo page number algorithm would be messy since that would require scanning the entire file and then somehow adding the page numbers to the table of contents. Just to add to the complexity, are we talking about an embedded table of contents or the toc.ncx file? You can use either with a Kobo ereader.
