Sorry, but that's incorrect. A is illustrated. B is not. A has illustrations in each chapter and a full page illustration before each chapter. Lets say that in A page 3 is at the beginning of chapter 2. in B, the start of chapter 2 will not be page 32. It will be a lower page number. And in some cases, A is a different size to B. So that alone will make different page sizes.

I dislike this inconsistency across different books. Counting page turns solves this particular problem but introduces a bunch of others.
Long story short: there is no synthetic page counting algorithm that will work consistently in all cases.

Let's take a book. Two different physical versions will have different page numbers. But the same ePub on different Readers using the ADE page numbers will be the same. That's consistent. If you have a 6" Reader and you buy an 8" Reader and you know the page number you were on, you can go to that page on your new larger Reader. So you can pick up where you left off. Can't do that with 1 page = 1 screen.
