Everything that can be off, is off.
The longest the reader sat unused (sleep) is an entire week. In that time, it lost 35 percent of its battery life, so therefore I guess that it can hold out for three weeks at maximum.

What book format are you using? For epubs, the ADE algorithm is used. The Count Pages plugin can generate these and they are a reasonable match to what the device shows. For kepubs, you have the choice between the per-chapter count which is really a count of the screens used (changes with reading settings), or a per-book count. The latter is the same for whatever reading settings you use. I don't know how it is calculated. I assume they do something like the ADE method, but, from memory, it ends up with a higher number than the ADE method. If I'm reading a kepub, I usually use the per-chapter page count. Being able to see how much to the end of the current chapter is useful when picking a stopping point. But, shortly after starting a kepub, I frequently change to the per-book count to get an idea of length. Once I have done that, I have a better of what "30%" means for how far I am through the book. Plus the chapter graph in the stats gives a very good indication as well.
If the point of the page number is to get an idea of the book length, then you can use whatever version you like in calibre and push it into the comments/synopsis of the book. When choosing a book, you can look at the details of the book on the device and see the calculated length in the synopsis. For me, I add the word and page count plus the tags and my rating. You can do this and some other tweaking of the metadata using my Kobo Utilities plugin.

I use the KEPUB format. I already put the books length as calculated by Count Pages into the title using a plug board.
I'm going to send the covers back, sell the reader, and sell anything else I still have that has flaws which have made me abandon the product in the end.
I'm done with tinkering and sending stuff back and forth, and will be sticking to stuff which I know will work.
