That's 1024 COMPRESSED characters. If it was 1024 characters, it would take a loth longer to open an ePub as ADE would have to parse the entire contents to find out the page numbering.

but sometimes it is based on how many screens worth of text there are at the current font/line/margin settings. This is the worst of every world, because it confuses the hell out of everyone who sees it, and makes NO sense whatsoever.

iBooks!
RMDSK (ADE) used in Kobo Readers gives you ADe style page numbers and a percent read. So you can use whichever you want. Also, once you get used to ADE style page numbers, you do get a good sense of where you are and how much you have to go (unless the eBook contains fake bonus content (preview of another book)).
