Firstly, which is wrong and needs to be fixed?

The reason for question is that page counts is something that has been endlessly discussed across this forum with religious fervour.

There are lots of ways to calculate the page count. I can think of ways that this is done in calibre. So, it does depend on what you are looking at there. If you are using the Count Pages plugin and have the ADE algorithm it should be roughly the same. If you are using a different algorithm, or the calibre viewer page count, then it won't match.

And Kobo uses different algorithms for epubs and kepubs. And Kindles do it another way.
