Firstly, it seems like a weird thing to do. You have written a book with certain content which means it needs a certain number of "pages" to display it. As I assume you do not want to remove content, though removing end or front matter could do it, then you need to change the formatting somehow.
Page breaks don't really happen in epubs as they do not really have the concept of pages. There will be one at each new internal file. Merging some might reduce the number of pages. For example, if you have the title and copyright in separate files, then merging into one file might mean only one page. But, it might not.
Otherwise changing the formatting could help. For example, removing spacing around headers will reduce the rendered length of the book and might reduce the page length. And doing something like setting the body font size to something small will also do it. But, that is NOT a good idea.
It also depends on how Amazon is calculating the pages. Is it based on words, characters, screen size, font size or something else. Kobo display a word and page count in their store. From memory, the page count is simply the word count divided by 320. And they did this on their devices as well. But, in that case they calculated the page count for each chapter and then summed that.
