Over the past year I have compared about a dozen paper books checked out from my local library with the same book purchased as an ebook from amazon. Most matched page numbers except that the first page of a chapter is frequently off by one on a kindle.
Kindles don't support pagelist or pagemap, but software to convert EPUB to a kindle format does. The HTML for most of the ebooks had obvious targets for pagelist/pagemap. I have to assume that the same book from the same publisher in EPUB format would have either pagelist or pagemap.
