The Count Pages plugin cannot take this into account. It just counts characters, and that's it. Therefore it behaves as if the book is printed as a wall of text with zero margins, no whitespace between chapters; not even indentations for paragraphs.

Ah...sorry then--I didn't realize that. So I guess it's only useful as a relative measurement for while you're reading then, correct? So that you can see something like "page 200 of 550" or something like that? It would appear that it is not much good if you are trying to compare it to the paper version of the book.
