100%??? So a book can go from 1000 pages to 0 pages? Or did you mean from 1000 pages to 2000 pages.
And oddly, I tried deleting all the styles from an ebook so only naked tags were left and it changed the compressed size of the epub container by ~7%. This resulted in the synthetic page count dropping by 4%. Repeated strings compress rather well.
Perhaps you were mis-reading jackie_w's post where she mentioned 50-60 pages and in one case 100 pages. On my test book, the page count dropped by 70 pages out of 1750 pages for the original.
Perhaps why saying ADE pages number are consistent for the same edition of an epub on any device is rather common.
