Right now I'm trying to figure out the page number and it's a mess.
If you adjust the font size then the page number will change, if you ajust margins, line spacing, paragraph spacing etc then the number of pages will change.

Page numbers in any ePub / Mobi reflowable text book will vary on the the items above as well as the screen size so page 100 for me maybe page 98 or 105 for you for example.

The only way page number will be the same for everyone is with a document that you cannot adjust the display like a pdf. Marvin doesn't do pdf's.

So using the example you quote is just not feasible in any ereader using an ePub book.
