Page forward a couple of times, and my page count goes up from 127, I stop on page 129.
Go to Home, re-select the book, and my page is now 148.
Sorry, I can't reproduce this. I put a kepub on the device with 674 pages. I paged forward a bit and it counted correctly. Then I skipped to the next chapter and it incremented as expected. Page forward some more, close the book and reopened it and the page number was the same as when I closed it.

I also used the page slider to randomly pick a spot in the middle of the book and tried again. I didn't see any problems with the page numbering.

Some weird page numbering can happen if every file in the book isn't in the ToC or there are multiple ToC entries for a file. That might explain what you are seeing. If so, it isn't strictly a bug. This is against what specs Kobo have published for kepubs, so the behaviour is undefined.

In any case, we've wandered off topic for the thread, and we should move to the Kobo forum for any further discussion.
