I like to know how long a book is (minus the extra bumf pages from Gutenberg)
I get true pagination with mobi format, but you get no touch interactive content with such files.

If you enable the display of adobe page numbers (these appear along the right margin of the text sometimes even clipping the words depending on the books and your own margin settings) you can get the feel of how and why it appears that whole page numbers skip as you read a book. This setting is under "reading settings (second page), check: show page numbers in the margins" Because Adobe gave pages a fixed number of characters, depending on font, font scale, margins, etc. the displayed page and a page number have no connection. As you read this displayed margin page number will appear to rise or sink slightly with each page turn. I too found it rather strange at first when reading normal Epubs, Adobe, despite their tools for documenting things, does an absolute poor job in telling users why Epub page numbers have an odd way of displaying.
Till I found out I assumed the Epub was damaged or corrupt.
Kepubing books is definitely an alternative, though after a while I think you will get use to the non-intuitive implementation of counting that Adobe has blessed us all with.
