- Can switch between whole book and chapter page numbers
- Whole book: next page increments page number (as expected)
- Chapter: next pages does not increment page number. Have to go 2 or 3 pages to increment. Seems like it is using the Adobe page numbering, though I have that option unchecked.
The full book page numbering for kepubs doesn't change with the fonts size and other settings, so yes, it is probably using the same algorithm as the Adobe page numbering. Or a similar one. With this, depending on font size, a page can cover several screens. A new chapter will always be a new page number. But, the next increment could easily take a couple of taps.

The existing Adobe option is about whether to display the page numbers in the margin, it doesn't effect the numbering in any other way.
