With kepubs, the numbering is strictly one-for-one; that is, the number at the bottom reflects the number of page turns needed based on your screen and font size.

It was never quite that straightforward. As far as I'm aware, for kepubs prior to fw 4.16.x:
- If you had your Reading settings set to progress by Chapter then 1-page was equivalent to 1-screen and the number of pages per chapter would be recalculated every time you adjusted the font/font-size/line spacing/margins.
- OTOH if you had your Reading setting set to progress for Entire Book the total pagecount was calculated, using some unknown mystery algorithm - but probably related to wordcount(*). This total pagecount didn't change every time you adjusted the font/font-size/line spacing/margins.
(*) Wordcount was a different mystery algorithm, e.g. when is 1-word counted as 2-words, or vice versa? Did the algorithm change for different languages?
However, all this is moot, because I think things have changed for fw 4.16 onwards. All will be as clear as mud in the fullness of time.
