That makes it tricky to say how many pages are left (and in fact an Adobe page could include the last part of one chapter + the 1st part of the next). Kobo has limited control over what they can change on the Adobe side.

Couple of nits. The other renderer used by Kobo was originally developed by a Japanese company. Check Google for ACCESS NetFront BookReader.
If the chapters are separated so a file equals a chapter, the Adobe synthetic page number algorithm will not carry page numbers over multiple chapters.
