Welcome to MobileRead flutterby!
There are 3 different "Real Page Number" methods. I broke them down in detail
in this post:
- EPUB2 = page-map (obsolete) + pageList
- EPUB3 = page-list
Like jhowell mentioned, it requires going through your HTML and manually adding anchors at the beginning of every "page".
In
Post #6 of "Indexes without Page Numbers", I gave an example:
Once you finish marking up the book, you then generate the pageList (EPUB2) or page-list (EPUB3) code.

Doitsu has a Sigil Plugin to make generating this code a bit easier,
"PageList - Generates print edition page numbers"
EPUB3 recommends using
<span epub:type="pagebreak">s instead of
<a>s, but you should be able to use Regex to swap between them relatively easily.
Side Note: Here is a sample EPUB3 Doitsu created which includes a page-list:

This was thoroughly debunked last year in the
"Citing Websites" thread (beginning in Post #35ish and beyond).
