The Count Pages plugin gives you a count that can be placed in a calibre custom column. It does not change the way your Kobo will display page numbers in a book you are reading.
I, too, prefer the Adobe page count. For me, it is a more "realistic" count that approximates a typical print book and gives me a good feel for a book's length. Sometimes I am in the mood for a short read, sometimes a long read. That comes into play when I am choosing my next read.
I wanted to have this information somewhere in each book on the Kobo. With the help of some posts elsewhere in this forum and a bit of trial and error, I found a way to send the total page count for each book from calibre to the Kobo. The count appears on the Book Details page of each book.
This can be dome manually from within the Kobo Utilities plugin, but a better way is via a Metadata Plugboard that can automatically do the job when you send books to the Kobo. The code for either method looks like this...
Code:
{#pg_ct:|<p>Pages: |</p>}{comments}
...where my calibre custom column lookup name is
#pg_ct.
