Likely since the Nook uses the Adobe synthetic page numbers. They do not change with screen/font/margins. You may have noticed that the page number does not change with every page.

No problem for me since I rarely use page numbers other than locating a chapter in a deadtree book. On my ereader, if I'm looking for a item, I mostly use search, otherwise I just tap on the chapter item in the TOC listing.

As an aside, I thought there was some way to reference "pbook pages" in an epub (I thought the Nook was implementing this, or am I thinking of the Kindle)?

The only method I'm familiar with for doing this in epubs was the Adobe page-map non-standard extension. You needed to use Adobe's InDesign program to create the ebook or spend a lot of time creating the entries by hand. The MobileRead wiki has an entry about page-map (
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Adob...tions#Page-map and other Adobe extensions.
The only time I saw page-map used in the real world was a couple of textbooks that had downloadable ebook versions (at an extra cost, of course). For one of the ebooks, it turned out the page numbers did not quite match up to the deadtree book which had been reset and reprinted by the Canadian distributor.
