ebooks have been around for a while now. The varying page numbering schemes are understood. I still don't see the problem.

Your reader uses multiple different ways to calculate page numbers, depending on context, and some of those bear little resemblance to the "real page numbers" found in a printed book. That makes it impossible to "just pick one" without harmonizing all of those systems
which...is a much taller order than you might think. ...

For epubs, I assume it would be easier to use the numbering system that the ADE engine is using. So use that.
For kepubs, either change to the ADE page numbering system, or use screen page numbers.

... I just finished a book last night that has a print page count around 380, but an electronic count closer to 260.
Which one is right?

I don't see a problem with this. Nobody is asking for miracles. Implement what you can.
They can bring an ereader to market, I have confidence they could implement page numbers
if they wanted to.
